Are You Influential Enough to be one of NBC’s Local News Tweeps?
You’ve no doubt seen Twitter streams splashed across the ticker at the bottom of CNN newscasts in recent months – and now NBC wants to take this one step further. They’re looking for the most influential Twitter celebrities in the New York and Washington DC areas, to provide ongoing on-the-ground coverage of local news.
This local-meets-social news initiative is called “The 20“, and it’s designed to boost the profile of 20 local Twitter stars and, at the same time, access breaking news via Twitter.
NBC will determine the Twitter users to follow by measuring “input from social media organizations and factor in the trending local headlines and the topics driving the local conversation”.
