Transcript of #editorchat 6/17
[21:05:43] milehighfool: RT @shortformernie: Any venue that can get people from Iran in the flesh when nobody else can is automatically the winner. #editorchat
[21:05:52] WpgGirl: Q1 How many people now use Twitter to get more info on breaking news? *Hand raised* #editorchat
[21:06:08] SpecialDee: Q1 I wonder if we’re moving to a byline followed by a disclaimer: “Fact checked by (name)” #editorchat
[21:06:08] LisaGemini: @lauriemeisel Ann Curry is THE goddess! Always loved her. LOL #editorchat
[21:06:09] ksablan: Would stream with disclaimer be irresponsible reporting? I don’t categorize it as reporting at all? But is it a bad practice? #editorchat
[21:06:21] shortformernie: @lauriemeisel You mean Ann Curry wasn’t a goddess beforehand? *Fawn* #editorchat
[21:06:25] netta50: @fanihiman95376 That’s part of the job. #editorchat
[21:06:36] merylkevans: @WpgGirl I don’t intentionally check twitter for breaking news — I usually just catch it. #editorchat
[21:06:36] KatPowers: @WpgGirl Me too #editorchat
[21:06:47] LydiaBreakfast: Nicely put @milehighfool we are now all part of the mosaic that contributes to the news cycle by virtue of posted content. #editorchat
[21:06:48] milehighfool: @WpgGirl Same. Twitter, Google News, blog searches. Even my Blogroll. TV news has become irrelelvant for me. (Almost.) #editorchat
[21:06:48] Mrs_Write: Twitter filled a void but people still turned to the major wire services/networks for confirmation of the tweets they read #editorchat
[21:07:14] mhertz: @WpgGirl Same here. I depend on Twitter for material these days. #editorchat
[21:07:25] ksablan: @lauriemeisel Where did Twitter-savvy MSM stand? #editorchat
[21:07:28] lauriemeisel: @shortformernie @LisaGemini never said she wasn’t before but non believers walked away with a new appreciation #editorchat
[21:07:31] milehighfool: @ksablan Interesting question. Tweeting disclaimers could get dicey but I can envision it being necessary at some point. #editorchat
[21:07:33] fixin2: Sorry I’m late; I’m Paul, news editor for a small Mississippi daily. #editorchat
[21:07:45] LisaGemini: @milehighfool Gotcha on TV news being irrelevant. Took me 30 min. to hear about guy carring gun on nearby campus. #editorchat
[21:07:46] netta50: The role of the “citizen journalist” is unprecedented w/today’s access to media via Twitter, blogs, etc. Evolving parameters. #editorchat
[21:07:50] bfuller9: @WpgGirl handraised too. #editorchat
[21:07:52] bffoodie: For our site we don’t even really have an editor and were originally expected to post four times a week. Editor is a luxury #editorchat
[21:08:06] WpgGirl: @KatPowers I don’t think any of us truly expect the first scent of breaking news to be THE WHOLE story; it’s in progress. #editorchat
[21:08:12] jennipps: @fixin2 Hi, Paul. Welcome to the late-comers club. 
#editorchat
[21:08:15] shortformernie: Q1: What I’ve found interesting is that being a smart searcher on Twitter is nearly as good as a newspaper article. #editorchat
[21:08:21] mhertz: @milehighfool The only TV news that feels relevant to me is The Daily Show, but that’s a whole other discussion. #editorchat
[21:08:28] milehighfool: @Mrs_Write Yes. I think that’s the question before us. What’s the best practice? Did the networks do as wel as they could have? #editorchat
[21:08:55] LisaGemini: @milehighfool Um, that’s a big NO on the networks. LOL #editorchat
[21:08:56] lauriemeisel: @ksablan I’ll have to find a link for you on the news portion of #140conf. MSM didn’t rank well at all. People wanted more. #editorchat
[21:09:06] wmduke: Does real-time reporting help or hurt print sales? Can one augment other? Short form v. long i.e. web says what/print says why. #editorchat
[21:09:08] KatPowers: @WpgGirl We’re all part of the process, it seems, CitJournos, pros, housewives at the scene… #editorchat
