Reporters Share News Via Twitter

Social networking website Twitter has launched a new platform which enables journalists to share stories and information in real-time.

Members signing up to reportwitters.com can communicate by text or instant messaging with fellow reporters and freelancers across the globe to obtain advice on news items and share story-gathering tips.

The founders are also encouraging journalists to proofread each other’s articles and keep followers updated with their progress on stories from the initial idea to publication.

“Using Twitter journalistically, much of your efforts will involve setting a stage for a hyper-interesting experience,” states the website.

“At the moment these are only the bare bones of a concept that can easily be expanded into a mega project. Reality-style journalism could become a thing of the future.”
