Reporting from Facebook

In "Reporting from Facebook" we will start by looking at what online social networks are and examining the differences between several of the most popular sites, including Facebook and LinkedIn. From there we will move on to a more in-depth look at Facebook - navigating the site, using it to research stories, using it to identify and contact sources, and using it to connect with your audience. There is a class fee of $25 for NPC members and $50 for nonmembers. The fee can be paid by credit card, check, or member account.
