MSNBC Opens Up @BreakingNews to Local News Organizations

MSNBC Digital Network-owned BreakingNews.com added a “Spot” tab in November, allowing users to upload tweets, photos, and videos. Now, the site is taking crowdsourcing one step further, allowing news organizations on its list to fast-track breaking news via tweet by including @breakingnews or #breakingnews within the text.

Editors will choose breaking news stories of regional or national interest and push them directly to the homepage, the @BreakingNews Twitter feed, the Breaking News Facebook page and its mobile apps.
