So where to start? Newsgathering. Around the world, media outlets and journalists are using chat apps to spread the news.

How a Norwegian public radio station is using Snapchat to connect young listeners with news. In 2011, the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK set the world record for the longest single television show by broadcasting a cruise ship traversing the country’s coast.
