Staying Human in the Age of Digital Reporting

Mar 11, 2017

12:30pm – 1:30pm CT

In the era of Trump, who tweeted what often counts as front page news. The news cycle is getting quicker, attention spans are getting shorter. Blame it on social media and the 'net.

New York Times national correspondent Dave Philipps will walk through two recent stories that relied heavily on reporting that only social media could achieve.
