Stick to the subject

The great thing about Twitter is that it gives everyone a voice. It has the ability for people to say something and if deemed important or newsworthy enough, it gets re-said as it were. Today it seems like the whole world is blogging which in my opinion is fine, there is no such thing as too much content and providing Twitter and other sources continue to filter my reading, the system works well for me.


So where is the problem? With citizen journalist in the driving seat, it can often be tempting for them to “mix projects”. By mix projects I mean that they can use their new found journopower to criticise something while at the same time promoting something else.... Like a bar for example:- “look at the terrible behaviour of this bar, why not stop going there and try the place across the road”. I would even go so far as people potentially creating articles just to promote their stuff.....

My advice to anyone considering this is to stick to the subject as this #mixprojects approach just sucks credibility from the original article........
