No matter the result of the 2016 US presidential election, mis-information on areas where Arabic and/or Russian are spoken will increase.
If you are creating topic maps and/or want to do useful reporting on such areas consider:
How to get started investigating the Arabic-language internet by Tom Trewinnard, or,
How to get started investigating the Russian-language internet by Aric Toler.
Any hack can quote releases from official sources and leave their readers uninformed.
A journalist takes monotone “facts” from an “official” release and weaves a story of compelling interest to their readers.
Any other guides to language/country specific advice for journalists?
