July 19 Panel Discussion: How Social Media Has Impacted Newsrooms

The moment news happens, it’s reported through a social media platform.  Print and broadcast must grapple with the instantaneous alerts hitting their screens and mobile devices.  On Thursday, July 19, we will explore how the social media phenomena impacts the newsroom, and how it drives and alters coverage.  In addition, we will discuss what, in a world of multiplying instant alerts, are the “do’s”, “don’ts” and secrets to keeping a reporter’s finger away from his ever-ready delete key.
Presented by LMA-LA and BMA, sponsored by JHill’s Staffing Services and hosted by L.A. Live, we hope you will join: Ron Grover of Reuters; Rachel Brown of CNN; Anthony McCartney of the Associated Press and Peter Pae of the Los Angeles Times. Tracy Williams, president and CEO of Olmstead Williams Communications, will be moderating the July 19 panel as these esteemed media professionals share their views on how social media has impacted their work, and what methods work best for pitching and engaging the media via social media. RSVP today.
