But first, this video introduces masterclasses: what they are, what they set out to do, and how you can get involved in them.
The MultimediaJournalism iPhone app is the perfect way to stay up to speed with all aspects of multimedia journalism.
The next 16 masterclasses will appear during the 2011-12 academic year. Here's an outline of what's planned.
It's not set in stone, and if there are items you'd like to see added, or if you have input into any of the topics listed, feel free to get in touch via the Contact button, or by DMing @andybull.
Because social media has developed so fast in the 18 months since MMJ was published, it's time to bring everything up to date.
So I'm adding three masterclasses in using social media for journalism that correspond with the three learning levels – getting started, building proficiency and professional standards – of the MMJ project.
Those new chapter will be web-exclusive for now, but will be added to the next print edition of MMJ.
We looked in the last masterclass at how social media can be a valuable source of stories, contacts and tools for research. Now we add to that with a look at the use of RSS feeds, and how to combine the sources you want to keep tabs on into combinations, known as bundles or pipes, that make such sources manageable.
We take our use of social media to the next level.
The latest advice on how the often-conflicting arts of search engine optimisation and headline writing can be reconciled.

Building on what was covered in Masterclass 20 to develop your skills in finding, sifting and visualising data.
