Tweet the News: Social Media Streams and the Practice of Journalism

Alfred Hermida
Abstract
From the introduction by Stuart Allan: "Alfred Hermida (Chapter 60) draws the volume to a close by scrutinising how social media – with the social messaging technology Twitter at the fore – are changing the ways in which news is gathered, disseminated and consumed. in tracing how Twitter has developed into ‘the default media network for real-time news,’ he discerns important implica- tions for the wider practice of journalism at a time when searching questions are being asked about its capacity to reinvent itself anew. A fitting note, then, to draw this Companion’s discussion to a close."
