Likewise, Briggs explains to journalist specifically how important it is to be mindful that your represent more than just yourself.

Furthermore, Twitter has become a major outlet of information that can be updated by the second and be accessed by a variety of different people.

Thus, a journalist who maintains a twitter account needs to maintain his/her account at a respectable level, in cases your tweets reach levels that one thought were unreachable.

If you don’t get what I just said, I’ll put it best this way:  Watch what your saying on twitter because you never know who will look at it or even use it for their own project.

Simply put, this chapter open’s readers eyes to how important it is to maintain several social networks in order to connect journalist and reporters to the people and the information they can provide.
