Journalists wanting to integrate Twitter into their newsgathering routine may be nervous about trusting random posts which claim to be relaying important information. Working with known contacts is one thing, but working with total strangers and trying to find out who to trust presents the journalist with a problem.

The new Page, Journalists on Facebook, is intended to be a resource for journalists who want to incorporate social media into their reporting, networking and storytelling. “The Page will provide journalists with best practices for integrating the latest Facebook products with their work and connecting with the Facebook audience of more than 500 million people,” Facebook Director of Media Partnerships Justin Osofsky wrote in a blog post.

The social network is also kicking off a Facebook Journalists Meetup program. Facebook will be hosting workshops around the world, teaching journalists how to use the site as a reporting tool. The first of these meetups takes place on April 27 at the company’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California.
