BBC tells news staff to embrace social media

"BBC news journalists have been told to use social media as a primary source of information by Peter Horrocks, the new director of BBC Global News who took over last week. He said it was important for editorial staff to make better use of social media and become more collaborative in producing stories. "

This could be interesting. Imagine BBC reporters reading social media sites and finding out the rest of the world doesn't share their far left wing views.
