Your BBC is Number 1! (via The Most Viral News Sources on Twitter and Facebook [INFOGRAPHIC])
One of the things I like about Twitter is that it behaves in many ways a lot more like a newsroom than a newspaper. … Rumors happen there, and then they get shot down — no harm no foul.
But what then sets our profession apart from EVERYONE else on Twitter? Why would somebody follow a journalist on twitter over a random guy that will pass along rumours as they appear in his or her timeline?
Why don’t you send press releases as a fax?
It’s a nice collection of short-form work, and I’ve been rewarded with lot of followers … and exactly no money.
