After reading the articles, I believe that Twitter is not journalism. It simply is a social networking website, similair to Facebook and MySpace. Although people may post current events because they are near the"action," I don't think this could be use a reliable source. They may give the wrong information, and regardless if they fix their mistakes later, it still can have a negative effects on many different levels. Many people are dependent on the media/journalism, so to base news off of a website that also reports what people are eating for lunch, may not be as reliable. Also, if information gets misconstrued, situations similair to the Hinderburg explosion -- in which the reporter indicated no one survived the explosion when, in fact, most had -- could happen again. People may also start creating "jokes" and putting up false information to confuse people. Twitter could potentially be used as a base to start a story. If the reporter chooses to research the information more, they could perhaps persue the story to see if it's in fact true. However, I don't believe that Twitter is currently more than a social website.
