How reporters are using social media

Matt Shipman writes about a new paper on how journalists are integrating Facebook and Twitter into their work: "Only 22.7% of study participants said that Facebook was either an 'important' or 'very important' tool for their reporting. On the other hand, 51.7% of participants said Twitter was an important or very important tool." The percentages might be larger but for the fact that more than half of the journalists' employers had policies restricting social media use.
