NPC’s Update-1 podcast airs fourth social media episode

Jesse Holcomb, associate director of research at the Pew Research Center, returns to Update-1 to speak with NPC Broadcast Committee member Shannon Fisher in part four of the National Press Club’s podcast series on social media. The two discuss the role of social media in journalism, exploring the findings of Pew’s State of the News Media and Social Networking reports.

All podcasts are on www.press.org under the Recent Multimedia section or by clicking on the Multimedia link at the top of the home page and then clicking on Podcast. They also can be found by searching for “NPC Update-1” on iTunes, Stitcher or Tunein.

Pew’s findings reveal news-consumption habits across all social-media platforms, as well as the manner in which journalists use them to disseminate news. In the ever-changing social-media landscape, with new options appearing daily, listeners might be surprised by the places readers share and receive the bulk of their information.

Update-1 is a production of the NPC's Broadcast Committee. It provides a forum for listeners to learn about newsworthy stories, many originating from the Press Club or involving club members. You can comment on any podcast by submitting an email to [email protected].
