AWJ - Live blogging - some guides

There's quite a lot of information online about how to live blog. Most of it seems to date from a couple of years ago, which is when it really took off as a journalistic form, I think. And a lot of the guides tend to focus most on the kit you need and how to take care of the practical details of the job. They don't talk about the different things journalists can do with the live blogging form... Perhaps that's because people are still experimenting with it.

Here's a few links you might find useful:

AWJ - Session 4 This week we're going to look at live blogging. We'll look at some examples of the way professional journalists approach this, some of the tools you can use to do it and then get you live blogging something in the afternoon. Before that, we need to work on sorting out the group sites. So we'll try to set up the groups and give you some time to finalise the ideas.

AWJ - CoverItLive We're going to try using CoverItLive today. It's a free service - at least to small scale users - and very easy to use. You sign up for an account, create a live event and then you can past the embed code for that event into a blog post. That creates a little post that you can expand and update in real time. You do this via the event console which you access via your CoverItLive account. Reza will demo how to set it up - but it's really pretty easy - though there are sometimes glitches when it comes...
