MT Journalism Chat

@mtjchat

#mtjchat is a chat the first Sunday of the month at 2 p.m. where Montana journos discuss all things journalism under the Big Sky. A project of @MTCIR.

4/4 We'll send out a short survey this afternoon. Plz take a moment to let us know how we can make #mtjchat better for all of us. #mtmedia


3/4 We welcome any and all feedback, suggestions & ideas regarding #mtjchat, as it is just as much your platform as it is ours. #mtmedia


2/4 The decision wasn't easy, but we've decided to hold off on any future #mtjchat's for now due to a general lack of interest. #mtmedia


1/4 Thank you to all who have participated in #mtjchat so far. We are truly grateful you are dedicated to improving journalism in #Montana.

The worst part about being a recovering journalist is when you come across good stories (& you do), you got nowhere to run them.

Q5 How do you decide who you’ll interact with and who you’ll ignore? Where’s the precedent? #mtjchat

@mtjchat Our social editor does a good job on FB direct messages, which is where most digital discourse takes place for us. #mtjchat


Q4 If you choose to engage with a troll, where should you do so? Online, offline, in the comments, privately? (i.e. email)? #mtjchat

@mtjchat As a general rule, I think not. There are times when a substantive point can be addressed. #mtjchat

@mtjchat although I wanted to smack them in their smug, jerk faces


Q3 Should journalists ever engage with trolls? #mtjchat


Yikes! How awful. #mtjchat

@mtjchat I've gotten anonymous phone calls, sometimes full of screaming profanity. That might be as close as it gets.



Q3 coming up in a few minutes!! #mtjchat


Good point!

@mtjchat I would think those types of responses have always been there. It was just less of a barrage before internet threads #mtjchat



#mtmedia #mtnews #mtpol Come on over to #mtjchat right now and join our discussion on trolls.


PRO TIP: End your tweets with #mtjchat so your responses can be easily tracked and archived.
