Nora Paul, known among news librarians for her previous work with the Poynter Institute and now director of the director of the University of Minnesota’s Institute for New Media Studies, shares some tips about what kind of information might be available about people online on last Tuesday’s Morning Edition, a National Public Radio news program. The story is under the guise of online privacy because it reveals some information about how much about us might be available within a few mouse clicks. For journalists, it’s worth noting because it gives some ideas about how to find even basic information about people that could become useful for a story.
Thanks, KM, for sharing the link!
