The journalists will be handed computers that only connect to Facebook and Twitter, no other browsing is allowed and of course television, radio and newspapers are also kept out of reach.
Each day, the reporters from Canadian, French, Belgian and Swiss radio stations will each go on the air on their respective channels to comment on the news that they have found.
It'll be interesting. It's kind of like playing that game telephone, where the first bit of news is "i like to eat gum" and end up with "what the hell is an industrial designer?"
Warning: The experiment is in France, and the twitter feed is all in French.
