Social media training brings out the best in Azerbaijani journalists
They have been arriving early and leaving late - that's always a good sign for media training.
The four-day Council of Europe sponsored social media training at the Azerbaijan Media Center included more than 25 participants with many more wanting to join. By the end of day two a few had drifted away but what we were left with was the hard core of serious, dedicated and totally committed journalists who wanted to learn as much as they could about using social media to enhance their news gathering, news production and news dissemination skills. With one more day to go they have learned how to use Twitter, how to update the microblogging site Posterous via email, and how to use curation tools. Here are a few pictures of the team in action.
