		<description><![CDATA[A survey of nearly 500 journalists across 15 countries has found that some journalists use social media and blogs to source and verify stories. But the majority don&#8217;t. Nearly half of respondents (47 percent) said they used Twitter to source new story angles. Over a third said they used Facebook (35 percent). Blogs were also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meeting Matthew Inman, you&#8217;d never guess that this shy, slightly built 27-year-old is the caustic genius behind The Oatmeal, one of the web&#8217;s most phenomenally successful humour sites.
