1:00 PM  Reporting from Facebook (NPC Class)
Description:         
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, MySpace 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.

The class will last one hour. There is no charge for the class. Register by contacting Beth Shankle at bshankle@press.org or 202-662-7509.
