Is Twitter journalism?
Twitter can be a very useful journalism tool — if you know how to use it.
Connected or not…
Search topics, people, photos, videos, trends (hashtags)…
What am I looking for?
Or go “Advanced” and get specific.
Near and far…
What am I looking for?
TO LOCALIZE, add a city here
TO WIDEN YOUR SEARCH (default is 15 miles), adjust the range at the end of this line
What am I looking for?
1. LOCALa. people (sources)b. conversations (trends)
2. REACTIONa. To major events (earthquakes, celebrity deaths,
Dorner-level news)b. “holy shit” (people use expletives when big news
happens)**
** Stolen from (with all due respect/props to) Steve Buttry
