News organizations are faced with great opportunities with social media and those who embrace it and seize the day will triumph and prevail. It's interesting to hear about some of the endeavors on behalf of Tribune because I was the multimedia editor at a Tribune paper and worked hard to introduce the benefits of involvement in other media (TV, radio, online) and saw a lot of buy-in but resistance as well. Seems as though these guys are making headway and I am pleased. Right now I am leading a social media task force at WRAL and we are making huge strides. This is something people WANT to do and we need to capitalize on that enthusiasm and guide them. Not stifle it with rigid guidelines. News is being reshaped by social media and I'm glad to be involved. ____Angela Connor | @communitygirl Great interview JD.

I'm comfortable with Twitter to be one of the most trendy and frequently used gadget around, to connect with people, and alert us about latest happenings in the community. It's more like a medium to connect us to the real stories, the updates, rather being comprehensive & detailed itself. News/newspapers are still essential in our present lives. The medium just helps us getting faster info while building up a bridge/intimacy between journalists & readers. It is, a breakthrough. @wchingya Social Media/Blogging Twitter and other microblogging tools make the world a lot smaller these days.

I am one that rarely reads the newspaper, but I have nytimes on my twitter and it got me to sign up for emails to come into my email box about what is going on in the world as well.
