For plenty of news on how the reporters use Twitter, check out www.ReporTwitters.com and http://blog.reporTwitters.com. We are a platform for journalists/marketing professionals using Twitter. In addition to streaming the TWeets of around 100 media professionals around the world, we brainstorm about using Twitter professionally on our blog and on Facebook. It seems to me that since the Chinese Sichuan earthquake took place ten days ago, newspapers have woken up to the use of the tool. Perhaps it will result in them employinging the tool in their newsrooms. Twitter users were the first and most proficient to report the news when the disaster had just happened, something which alerted various editors. Both Reuters and the BBC have put developers on streaming Twitter with their newsroom news alerts. Check out my blog for more news about that. BBC/Reuters are not only out to get important Tweets about breaking news events first by using services like Hashtags and Twemes.com. They also aim to get in contact with Twitter users who happen to be close to the news when it breaks. That's the idea of citizen reporting!
