For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The t‘ witterisation’ of investigative journalism Abstract Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, the 'social tools' most widely used by journalists in their work, are transforming professional norms and values. The aw ys journalists engage with these platforms are: challenging notions of objectivity through the convergence of personal and professional lives; propelling the mainstreaming of 'open journalism' models, which promote collaborative research and reportage; and even upending established verification processes. So, what are the implications for investigative journalism? What are the potential benefits of s' ocial journalism' for research, investigation and verification? How can journalists and news publishers most effectively deploy social media platforms in pursuit of investigative stories? And what are the pitfalls of this brave new world? This chapter will seek to answer these questions and work towards developing a best-practice approach to social journalism principles in the context of investigative reporting, with an emphasis on the role and impact of Twitter as the tool of choice for most journalists.

As you pointed out, he has appeared as a guest on our programs, but he is not an employee. Senator ABETZ: But he gets paid a fee from time to time for those appearances? Mr Scott: I would have to check on that. I do not know… Senator ABETZ: It was within the week of that column that the ABC took that decision. Compare Mr Milne's column to Mr Lowenstein's offensive comment, which remained in the ether for five weeks before an apology was finally dragged out of him. Is the ABC willing to continue to have Mr Loewenstein appear as a credible panellist on its programs? Mr Scott: That decision was made, I think, at the editorial level of Insiders. The first I have become aware of this incident was this afternoon. I can take that question on notice, but I understand this was a very offensive statement made— Answer: Antony Loewenstein is a freelance journalist, blogger and author and has appeared as a guest and commentator from time to time on various ABC Radio networks.

    PM - Downer in Indonesia to sign new treaty http://www.abc.net.au/cgi-bin/common/printfriendly.pl?http://www.abc.... ABC Online PM - Downer in Indonesia to sign new treaty [This is the print version of story http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2006/s1787583.htm] PM - Monday, 13 November , 2006 18:34:00 Reporter: Mark Colvin MARK COLVIN: The Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer is on the Indonesian island of Lombok today, where he and the Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda will sign a new security agreement. We still don't know the detail of what's in it, though in general it's designed to improve border security, intelligence and cooperation on combating terrorism. But lawyers and foreign affairs experts are keenly awaiting the release later tonight of the exact wording of the treaty. Don Rothwell is Professor of International Law at the Australian National University. He says what he'll be looking for first is the treaty's effect on the so-called "Howard Doctrine" of Australia's security role in the region. DON ROTHWELL: The Australian Government has been quite forceful in putting forward a view that it continues to retain the right to use force against terrorists who might be based in neighbouring countries such as those in South East Asia or in the South Pacific. And the Government has been very consistent in pursuing this position, so much so that last year when it became a party to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, it expressly reserved its position on that issue in terms of maintaining the right to continue to exercise self-defence.
