Join Mediabistro’s Social Media Marketing Boot Camp beginning February 21. This 8-week intensive boot camp is designed for anyone who has basic knowledge of social media, but wants to create an integrated strategic plan for using social media to build an audience and convert traffic into sales. You’ll save $50 on registration when you use the code MAYNARD at checkout.

Social media networks are powerful sources of information that are changing the way we report news.  Journalists can now target specific audiences effortlessly by posting their content on particular websites. For instance, did you know that LinkedIn attracts an older crowd or that the Tumblr population is mostly comprised of teenagers and young professionals?

In journalism, it is important to follow trends while maintaining the traditional idea – get the important stories out in front of a niche target. We’ll show you how to do just that.

By Debora Gordon - Gaylynne Hudson and her husband bought their East Oakland home at the height of the real estate boom. They paid about $370,000 for their home off Foothill Boulevard  in February 2005. Both were teachers working with immigrants students in the Oakland Adult & Career Education program, a division of the Oakland Unified School District.

By Katrina Davis - Judith Jones points to a photo on her wall. It’s one of dozens – part of a collage filled with images of her son Winston Callender, his friends, and family. The one she’s smiling about is a picture of a young Winston, posing with two friends, all wearing wigs and big smiles.

By Michael Holland - Me being a true Generation X child, it’s no surprise that I liken every aspect of my life to rap music. Other age groups might think it is ridiculous but to me it makes perfect sense.

By Debora Gordon - At the center of this story are not only Lam, his family and his extended community. There is also Alicia – the most injured victim – and her extended family as well.  Most injured, because although all four of the passengers in the car at the time of the shooting have experienced trauma and ongoing repercussions, Alicia is the only one who was shot. She took that bullet to her eye, and today – three and half years later – she is still dealing with the painful consequences.

By Debora Gordon - It is occasionally said of someone of dubious repute, “He was no Boy Scout.” As it turned out, though, Lam was, and hence the double life: part-time gangbanger, part-time Boy Scout.

By Debora Gordon - I decided I would visit Lam in prison. But prison is not a place where you drop in spontaneously. First, you must be approved for visitation, which requires the inmate to snail mail you the Visiting Questionnaire. The California Department of Corrections (CDC) would like to know if you have visited other inmates, if you have been detained, arrested or convicted, (and if so, where/when and type of offense).
