Why journalists should break news on Twitter

Why journalists should break news on Twitter | Social Media and Journalists | Scoop.it

"[T]o advise journalists not to break news on Twitter is anachronistic. It ignores the value that a journalist and their parent organisation can gain by signalling that they are across a major development.

 

"People who’ve heard that something has happened may wonder why a journalist with BBC or Sky News hasn’t tweeted it yet.

 

"Moreover, tweeting the news can add to their credibility as a trusted news source, especially if Twitter is awash with rumour and speculation."
