Barbara Croll Fought, associate professor of broadcast and digital journalism in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, has launched Ready Reporter, a blog and Twitter feed.
Featuring tips for reporters, Ready Reporter comprises two to three Twitter posts a week at @ReadyReporter, linked to a blog with more in-depth information at http://readyreporter.syr.edu.
“Reporters are being asked to do more and more—find good stories, report them in multiple platforms, tweet and engage viewers/readers/listeners on social media,” writes Fought in her inaugural post. “Ready Reporter is here to help reporters work quicker, better and smarter online.”
Fought, a former TV news special projects producer, joined the Newhouse faculty in 1993.
