2011 - Best Storytelling Innovation
Anthony De Rosa joined Reuters as social media editor in July and immediately began pushing the boundaries of journalism, experimenting with new technologies to tell stories locally and internationally through the use of social platforms. Notably, two projects – the coverage of the Arab spring uprising and the London riots through social sources – established a new storytelling form by tracking reporting from all available sources in real time.
By curating the “ambient wire,” Anthony and his team identify where news is happening and apply the same rigors of verification that the Reuters Trust Principles demand.
Anthony’s work has attracted the attention of his peers in technology and journalism. NBC New York named him one of the “20 individuals who shape the local conversation.” He is a frequently quoted expert in new journalism and has taught classes across the country, most recently at Stanford.

tweets @jason_kint @hunterwalk well that’s refreshing to hear
@ryanvailbrown @hunterwalk why aren’t we selling the old pre-digital model? don’t give me that endless inventory bullshit.
@j_christo can’t you just apply the old pre-digital model?
@Alex_Keck @colbywg I don’t know what industry you work in, I was talking about digital ad sales
@simonowens precisely my point, I was talking about the absurdity of how that's not the way we look at digital ads
@j_christo I think we undervalue the branding exercise and overvalue metrics like CTR
@JHWeissmann it should be the latter, but that's not how it's framed by ad sales, generally
