Anderson’s approach towards journalism: “People can tell their own story and be their own witnesses. For instance, know your sources before something happens.”

• Anderson was a BBC Washington DC corespondent when he was 26.

Important to be sources you are using in context.

Don’t paintball a bunch of twitter updates and call it a news story.

Network to journalism is the role of social media today. Use networks to find sources.
