Reporting by Twittering

The NYT has a piece about some reporters who are “filing” sentence long updates, missives, jokes or random thoughts while covering the 2008 presidential campaign (see some examples here).

Obviously, it’s the latest piece of technology used by reporters to get the word out (cuz, you know, as soon as three reporters do it, that’s enough for a New York Times trend piece), although “the word” being put out there can be as mundane as:

  • This week: should i be in south carolina or florida?”

  • Ypsilanti,
  • AW+
