Twitter justified in Journalism?

21 11 2009

I felt like this posting this video, would generate interest in micro-blogging being seen as a professional and reliable way to communicate with the audience. I feel as though Twitter allows us to transition from viewers to participants in the media that we an audience to. As discussed in the video, there can be unintentional error caused by lack of research into the tweets that Twitter users are sending to the journalist – however, it still has place in a fast paced society, and has essentially replaced emailing the editor, newscaster, talk show host and has allowed faster feedback. Is it accurate and representative of America’s opinion as a whole? No. But it’s definitely a tool that can utilized in journalism in this internet society.
