Interview assignment: Research Log

I used a range of primary and secondary resources to conduct research for my interview, however there is more secondary as my interview was based on social media.

To find out the number of Facebook users I used this webste: http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2014/01/29/facebook-passes-1-23-billion-monthly-active-users-945-million-mobile-users-757-million-daily-users/

I used this website to find out the number of Twitter users: http://qz.com/248063/twitter-admits-that-as-many-as-23-million-of-its-active-users-are-actually-bots/

And this website for Instagram users :http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2014/03/26/instagram-passes-200-million-monthly-active-users/

These websites were easy to use because they gave me a clear statistic.

Primary Research – The Broadcast Journalist Handbook, I found this book in the library and found a few techniques for interviews that helped me write my questions.

Social media sites:

I used the Coronation Street Facebook page to gain access to storyline and video teasers: https://www.facebook.com/CoronationStreet?ref=ts&fref=ts

A newspaper website with the the story about a controversial tweet:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2755251/Coronation-Street-sacked-tasteless-tweet-Manchester-Dogs-Home-fire-say-fans.html
