Tips on using social media for journalists: a brief round-up

While I've been getting to grips with the the new-look Delicious I noticed I've saved a few recent links on using social media for journalists - mostly sourced from links posted on Twitter or from my Google Reader.

So here they are:

• Mandy Jenkin's slideshare guide to verrifying sources in social media

• Sharon Green on five ways Twitter made her a better journalist

• BBC producer Stuart Hughes on How BBC journalists are using social media

• Mashable's overview and infographic of How people use social media in emergencies

And, once you've digested that round-up and if you're interested in other areas of online journalism, why not take a look at Adam Westbrook's collection of his own posts on online video and entrepreneurial journalism.
