Calling all Journalists: Embrace Twitter!

After listening to Marcy and Brian discuss the benefits of Twitter, I can't help but wonder, why aren't more journalists taking advantage of this tool?

Why more journalists should use Twitter
  1. Allows them to search different locations to get breaking news
  2. Gain & keep sources by frequently using Twitter
  3. Look at "We Follow" and find your specific beat
  4. Encourages you to write shorter and be concise
  5. Look at who others follow and follow them for potential sources or story ideas
