    70% of Journalists use Social Media for Reporting

    70 Percent of Journalists Use Social Networks to Assist in Reporting http://bit.ly/atYov

    According to a new survey from Middleberg Communications and the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR), as reported in PRWeek , 70 percent of journalistssaid they use social networks to assist in reporting (compared to 41 percent last year). This is a huge spike in one year, though it shouldn’t surprise any of us with all the lists ofjournalists using Twitter and other social networks.

    The survey also found that 69 percent of respondents go to company websites to assist in their reporting, while 66 percent use blogs, 51 percent use Wikipedia (wow), 48 percent go to online videos (double wow), and 47 percent use Twitter and other microblogging services (would have guessed higher on this one).

    Now that's the coolest tag line I've seen in a year, I'd use it but you said it first...
    damnit

    Now that I have a smart phone I want a better one...

    The local newspaper sent out a reporter to write a human interest story about me.. guess where the reporter found out who I was and what I did?

    scanning social media, I'm betting that's where most human interest stories come from nowadays
