Workshopping journalism - notes.

Link: http://ideas.ted.com/since-the-ted-talk-the-guardians-paul…/ Just for interest. I've followed Paul Lewis on Twitter for several years - It's how I first learned about the death of Jimmy Mubenga in October 2010 (see my earlier post). Lewis sought comment from followers, having heard that a person being deported had died. His investigation insisted that this death not be disappeared. He also first broke social media news on the 2011 London riots ('hearing that something was happening in Tottenham', heading up there). And then there's his award-winning work on the death of Paul Tomlinson at the 2009 G20 in London. If you care about journalism, and citizen journalism, he's one of many committed reporters whose work is worth following. A long list of course. Across cultures.
