71% of Irish Media Use Twitter as News Source

A recent poll suggests that the Irish media is having a love-affair with Twitter – 71 of 100 Irish journalists polled say they use Twitter as a news source or supporting material for articles they write.

Conducted by Kantar Media and the Public Relations Institute of Ireland, this study looked at Twitter’s growth within Irish media, and the results shouldn’t really surprise anyone who’s been on Twitter for any length of time.

References to Twitter in Irish print media stood at 16 total in January 2008.
