News Station Twitter Abuse

This morning, as I was opening up my email at the lab, @WFXL FOX 31, Richard Harrold of Barrington Interactive (my Chief) had sent out an email with an mandatory read. What's interesting about this, is that the blog post that he was pointing everyone to, was a post dealing with News Stations and their abuse of Twitter written by Brian Manzullo, the Editor in Chief of Central Michigan Life. For this to strike you as interesting, you would have to know Richard Harrold (@newzdude76 on twitter) and you would have to know his history with Twitter... LOL!! That's another story...

News Station Twitter Abuse - About 2 months ago I tweeted into the mainstream on Twitter, for ALL of my followers to see, BUT mainly the Broadcasting types that follow something like this...

Note to Broadcasters: Twitter is not an RSS feed. It's a conversation. Period.

I got ZERO response, I am not even sure if I ruffled a feather. BUT what I do know, is that I am absolutely telling the truth. I think. As the world of the news and broadcasting become increasingly transparent, and the audience takes a bigger role in the delivery and forwarding of the news as it's told, and the idea of broadsharing becomes even the more evident, I strongly believe that the shift in social platforms as it pertains the news/broadsharing industry will dynamically change. As early adopters really start honing in on "best practices" and the definitions to the rules become common language, WE the audience will have a totally new perspective of the news stories told, and the human experience that we are all involved in.

Thanks Brian Manzullo at Central Michigan Life for telling the truth http://tr.im/newstwitterabuse, AND thank you Richard Harrold for sharing such an amazing blog post!
