Live coverage is the latest mobile and social trend to help journalists reach new audiences. Sports journalists can connect with fans via live, play-by-play broadcasts on internet radio. Reporters can enhance their storytelling on Facebook Live with a solid list of “best practices” and tools like Mevo. And SnapChat’s My Story can be used to create flip book style visuals with the latest details pushing your story to the top of followers feeds. In this session we will concentrate on best practices and using cost effective tools to get the most out of live coverage.
