Mediating Conflict: Twitter, journalists and hype
August 26th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Journalism, Social media and blogging
Interesting interpretation by Daniel Bennett of a tweeted conversation between a Sky News field producer (@fieldproducer) and one of its political correspondents Niall Paterson (@niallpaterson) debating the usefulness of Twitter to journalists and whether its the hype about the service that influences some blog/media’s coverage of the microblogging platform. [The conversation was initially sparked by this blog post]
Also see the comments, where Paterson takes the debate further, responding to some of Bennett’s own comments.
