Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I just got back from the Associated Press Media Editors conference in Nashville.

I spent three days with editors across the country, learning about how to manage staff, incorporate new media into coverage and the importance of using social media. I have a lot of notes and will be posting a little about each session as the week goes on.

For now, I’m looking for watchdog journalists who use social media to help with investigative stories. Do you use them as source-building tools? For tips? Etc. I’d like to chat about how certain networks can help when reporting on these types of stories that are essential to our communities.

If you know of anyone, shoot me an email at tgibson@opubco.com.

- Thanks
