Marketing companies, the police and intelligence agencies routinely access Facebook databases, email and Google searches to harvest personal information that many innocently believe to be private. Now journalists are doing the same to gather information for investigative exposes. Hear the details in the latest video from the Innovation Journalism conference at Stanford University by following this link to the Winchester Journalism You Tube channel:

These vids are being made for teaching on the journalism BA and the new full-time MA - which will be the best and most advanced journalism course in Europe. But they also be of use for law, marketing and media courses.
The next vids will discuss how press officers and marketing people are using content analysis software to harass journalists - and how to take counter measures. That will be followed by a multi-part interview with the professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Stanford on a variety of subjects including the (un)reliability of DNA evidence in criminal trials and the philosophy of science and mathematics generally. Don'ty touch that dial!
