(8)Central London

The PCC is teaming up with Polis to hold an evening discussion seminar which looks at the rise of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. The discussion will have two strands: firstly, the practical challenges for journalists and editors on deciding whether and how to use material posted by individuals online; and secondly how social media sites like Twitter have facilitated a huge shift in the way that the public both reacts to - and complains about - news articles en masse. Part of the evening will see the PCC explaining some key cases it has dealt with in this area. Further information about speakers and all other arrangements will be released in due course. To receive further details when they become available, please email catherine.speller@pcc.org.uk.
