The International Journalists’ Network (ijnet) has some handy tips from LA journalist Maggie Ma on “getting the story in the midst of all that glamour and glitz” when reporting from the big awards events in the entertainment industry calendar. Her advice ranges from the necessary preperation before the event to ”schmoozing” on the day.

See the full post.

MySpace launches cit-j project uReport

April 22nd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted by in Citizen journalism

You’d be forgiven for confusing it with CNN’s iReport, similar name, similar project – US broadcaster Fox has expanded its citizen journalism initiative, uReport, onto MySpace [though can't seem to find a working link yet].

According to a press release announcing the launch:

“Members of the MySpace uReport community can become ‘uReporters’ by uploading video and photos tagged by specific news categories, including USA, World, Entertainment and Politics. This content could be featured in relevant programming on FOX News Channel and foxnews.com, with FOX News maintaining editorial control of the MySpace page.”

The social network has already dabbled in some user-generated news coverage, having teamed up with MSNBC for US election coverage.
