Journalists and news organisations have been quick to latch onto the usefulness of Twitter for researching and publicising news stories. To help newsrooms further their Twitter use the company has launched Twitter For Newsrooms.
This new site provides information, resources, and tips for news organisations looking to get the best use of Twitter, whether it is sourcing eyewitnesses, confirming news reports, or engaging with a news-focused audience.
The plan is to keep updating Twitter For Newsrooms with more information, case studies, and testimonials from journalists and news anchors. Whilst aimed at newsrooms lots of the advice on the site can also be useful for other businesses using Twitter, especially the Engagement section.
