ReporTwitters

The brand-spanking-new ReporTwitters is a "Twitter platform dedicated to reporters":

  • Let the world experience first hand how you go about your reporting. From the minute you think of an article idea until you hit the 'publish now' button.
  • You'll have the chance to work alongside other reporters in the thralls of fast paced news.
  • Even use Twitter for interviews! Just twitter about the necessity of the interview and invite the candidate to our site, where your twitters can set the scene for a lively interaction.
  • Have another reporTwitter proofread your stuff in return for your proofing theirs, using the Twitter messaging feature.
  • Your work might be spotted by news editors on the lookout for that expert on biofuel gases in Avignon, France. Or who are canvasing the site for that hard nose generalist that speaks three billion languages.
  •  

    I've been around reporters long enough to know that a continual brain dump from one is a truly unpleasant thing, but to each his or her own.
