Sports Journalists Tweet for the Win

Critics and journalists are proving to doubters that tweeting is the right way to report on sports. Tweeting offers two things that official sports articles in a newspaper or on a website do not offer: immediacy and conciseness.

Columnist Bill Simmons and journalist Rachel Nichols are just two examples of those who have become  household names in the sports industry because of their activity on social media. When sports lovers are sitting at home with their families and they are unable to watch the “big game” because their significant other has on a different show, he or she can go onto Twitter and not only get score updates, but injury updates, penalty updates, and other updates. Do you see a pattern? (Updates.)

There is a myth that tweeting is not for journalists, because of the personal touch that it allows. However, if people, including journalists, use the social network for its true purpose, being social and sharing information with others, then they will see that this is the direction news deliverance is heading – and it’s time to get on board.

So please, give Twitter a chance. Use hashtags for what they are really for, connecting people. Embrace the 140 character limit and have a strong lede. And if you are a journalist, do not forget that your job is to be the first, be the fastest, and have a following audience that trusts you. Twitter allows all three of these things. So get to tweeting and follow me at @Colie_Beans!
