Off The Record: Tweeting the Umbrella Movement
把雨傘運動推至高峰：雨傘運動裡，香港人時刻不離 Facebook，緊貼最新發展。世人欲了解這件大事，靠的卻是推特（Twitter）。Twitter是全球新聞記者尋找一手即時資訊的地方，行家們在其中分享自己的報道和新聞圖片。在傳統大型媒體舉步為艱，跑單拖的「自僱記者」陸續湧現之際，Twitter變成自由工作者推銷自己的場地，是他們建立事業的最佳平台。今次雨傘運動引來大量外國媒體來港採訪，正是有不少有心人在Twitter耕耘，不斷把運動最新消息上載。幾名通曉廣東話和英文的本地年輕人，樂意跟同學分享這次獨特的採訪心得。
