How Many Social Media Managers Work At Media Orgs?

Guess. How many social media managers work at mainstream newspapers, TV stations, magazines and/or book publishers?

C’mon. Guess.

Two hundred, with most starting in the past two years, according to Forbes. This is mind boogleing. Two hundred?

We’re not sure whether this is a shocking and wonderful development (hooray that 200 news orgs were fast-moving enough to get on this) or shocking and depressing (how could 200 “social media gurus” con news organizations into paying them to Tweet?).
