article in Mashable this week discussed the growing role that Facebook is playing in social journalism. The highlights of FB abilities include the huge number of sources it makes available, ability for social story-telling, community content available, wide-spread distribution and role in training journalists. FB is becoming a valuable resource for journalists to monitor on the ground breaking news and also to research topics and find sources. In addition, there are now FB-only news sources like
Rockville Central here in DC. Do you think this trend will continue? Have you had any experience using FB for journalism purposes?
