We’ve already taken an in-depth look at how journalists can use Google+ in their arsenal of tools, and with Google+ finally launching pages for brands, we’re bound to see their own networks and publications getting in on the game.
Fox News, one of the first news networks to create a brand page on Google+, is once again taking the lead on this one. The network is going to be using the Google+ Hangout feature for live interviews of the Republican presidential candidates.
Google+ Hangouts provide limitless opportunities to interact with the audience, and by the looks of it, the Fox News experience won’t be any different, with Google+ users able to ask the presidential candidates questions during the live discussion.
Anchor Bret Baier will be leading the discussions, and the first presidential candidate to grace Google+ users’ computer screens is Governor Mitt Romney, slated for an interview on November 15.
