This page includes resources from my presentation for journalists on finding sources on social media, with specific tips for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.
Presentation: Social Sources – PDF or Social Sources – PowerPoint
I prepared this Camtasia video as a way of preparing for the show-and-tell portion of the presentation, where I show how to run searches on the different services, including some hidden features on Facebook and Twitter that I only learned about as I was preparing for this presentation. (apologies for the bad audio)
