A growing number of Gannett sites are creating more and more Twitter feeds to publish news, gather information, and communicate with readers and viewers.
But what happens when readers tweet back -- and a newspaper doesn't take notice promptly?
At New York's Poughkeepsie Journal over the weekend, that failure to communicate proved to be embarrassing.

Stu isn't the worst editor I ever worked with, but he's right up there.
ReplyDeleteNice try. "He never received my email." (This is from Romenesko.)
ReplyDeleteDaily Freeman managing editor Tony Adamis writes on his blog:
On Saturday morning, [Journal executive editor] Stu [Shinske] called me and said he had not been made aware of the situation until late Friday. The tweets were not brought to his attention, he said, and he never received my email. He assured me he took the matter seriously and would get back to me after he had had a chance to fully investigate.
He called me back late Saturday afternoon, with his findings and what I can only characterize as a profuse apology.
10:07, interesting that you call out the editor by name but you post as Anonymous. Could it be that A)you're a coward; B)you're among the worst employees he's worked with; C)All of the above. I think I'll take C.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, 11:38. We know that 10:07 would never dream of saying that to someone's face.
ReplyDeleteI love it when Anonymous posters call Anonymous posters cowards.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE when Anonymous 11:38 calls out 10:07 for posting anonymously. 11:38 must be a relative of subject of 10:07 post.
ReplyDeleteYo dawg, I heard you liked your anonymous to be anonymous.
ReplyDelete2:30, if I'm going to call out a co-worker by actual name as being one of the worst I've worked with, I will use my name and not hide behind it. Hey, we all have scum that we have worked for and with. I'm simply saying that if you (not you, specifically) are going to identify a co-worker (supervisor, peer) as among the worst, be man or woman enough to use your name since you're throwing out his or hers. Fair is fair. Not trying to start a fight.
