Twitter as a tool for a better journalism

Nieman Journalism Lab, at Harvard, celebrates exactly one year old today. During this symbolic date, its director, Joshua Benton, is in Brazil.

Benton used to bem an investigative reporter. Although his interest is now focused on research, he was involved actively in investigative reporting in a country that has some of the best examples of this "art".

Concerned about the fate of good journalism, in a time of social networks, where anyone can publish whaterever, Benton teaches how a journalist can take advantage of new media, especially Twitter.

With the word, Joshua Benton.
