Reuters Asks Journalists Not To Break Stories Via Twitter
Reuters has released a new “social media policy” to instruct journalists how and when to promote stories and share breaking news over social media networks. Included in this policy is a mandate to not “scoop the wire,” or break stories via Twitter.
According to the policy’s intro:
We want to encourage you to use social media approaches in your journalism but we also need to make sure that you are fully aware of the risks — especially those that threaten our hard-earned reputation for independence and freedom from bias or our brand.
