Twitter as a tool for journalism

Recently I gave a presentation for a group of Norwegian news reporters about how Twitter can be used as a tool for journalism. I have now translated it – and here is the English version:

I gave this presentation for colleagues at Aftenposten.no – a  leading news site in Norway.

Twitter usage has boosted in Norway recently and journalists wanted to have a quick introduction to how it might be used as a professional tool. Most of them had never used Twitter before. This presentation is intended as a very basic introduction.

As quite a few people have looked at the original Norwegian version of the presentation on Slideshare, I decided to also make an English version.

For BetaTales readers some of the content will be familiar. You can read more at:

Please feel free to comment and offer suggestions for what you think should be included in a presentation like this.

On a different note:
I apologize for not having updated BetaTales recently. The reason for this is that I have been in Cambodia for the last three weeks working on a book about the country. You can read more about this project on my other blog: Cambodia Tales
