Last month I dropped a link to Reported.ly, a social network newsroom that was soon to launch. Where other newsrooms may begin with a print publication and then use social media to share that same content (usually after the magazine or newspaper has already hit the stands), Reported.ly is meant to be a newsroom that's start-to-finish online.
Online, the Reported.ly team uses social media to chase and share leads (publicly), communicate with reporters covering the story in person (publicly), and then report directly back to readers; creating an instant stream of up-to-date news.
That's the goal. Reported.ly launched less than 48 hours before the Charlie Hebdo shooting, and the chaos was a "Baptism by Fire" for the team.
It thrills me that in keeping with their commitment to transparency, Reported.ly has written an article describing the process of covering Charlie Hebdo, and how they plan to improve that process in moving forward. I'm really excited to see how Reported.ly evolves throughout this year.
