Everyone says that you should be using Twitter. And they’re probably
right. Twitter is a great tool for doing journalism, for consuming journalism
and for, like, knowing things about the world. But like most social media, there is a wrong way and a right way to use Twitter.
Do: Share articles that you find interesting
When I say interesting, I mean things that are actually
interesting to you. Share content that actually deals with things you care
about. I am a big art and history nerd and scrolling back through my Twitter, a
lot of the things I share fall into those categories. Stories about Pompeii and
Google Art Project and a long-lost Stradivarius are some recent personal
favorites.
Offline success in the online age

It’s become a common practice for journalists to tweet from the field, find sources through social media and engage with audiences through their online profiles. But what happens when you work for a media outlet that doesn’t have a social media presence?
This summer, I interned at WEIU TV, a news station in Charleston, Illinois, which didn’t jump on the social media bandwagon until after I arrived. The news director hadn’t used any form of social media before and was hesitant to start Twitter and Facebook pages for the station (for reasons unknown).
