The challenge of unreliable information can be overcome with traditional cross-checking and verification of sources. It also may be good to consider the privacy levels of information on such sites as Facebook and LinkedIn. I think social media is a necessary tool in today’s media landscape.

Yes, we should connect with good sources wherever and however we can connect with them. I've connected with sources by Facebook. I couldn't find email addresses or phone numbers for some people I wanted to talk to, but I found them on Facebook, they responded and then we talked by phone or email. We connect with people where they are using a wide array of tools and techniques. Yes, we still have to vet the sources and challenge their credentials and credibility. We can make mistakes using Facebook, LinkedIn or any of these other tools (including telephone etc.). But those mistakes are our fault, not the tools'. Shawn,
