CNN’s 3pmET anchor Rick Sanchez joined us this morning on the mediabistro.com Morning Media Menu podcast to talk Twitter and more. The anchor has more than 50,000 followers on the social media site, and incorporates Twitter, Facebook and MySpace into his unique afternoon hour.
“Twitter has allowed me to engage in a dialogue with viewers which creates better newscasts for me,” he said. “The key here is creating a marriage between old media or mainstream media or whatever you want to call us, and new media.”
“I can’t see how anyone who’s forward thinking wouldn’t look at our model…and say ‘wow this is very likely the way things will move in the future,'” said Sanchez.
We also discuss how local news can make money again, Twittering at the White House and the political future of porn star Stormy Daniels.
You can listen to the podcast live every morning at 9amET on BlogTalkRadio.com/mediabistro and call in at 646-929-0321. You can subscribe to the show on iTunes by clicking the “iTunes” button.
