A fantastic first day here in Lagos, plenty of engaging conversations about both social media and eco-journalism. Fifteen exceptional journalists from all walks of news life - print veterans, radio presenters, political bloggers - joined us in the sweltering centre of Lagos at CC Hub.

The ecojournalism.org site that we're building for Eco J-Hub will be one of the first production sites to use Newscoop 4. This is very exciting. It's been the best part of a year since the last major Newscoop release came out and there's a whole raft of features that I'm excited about.
