"Breaking Tweets Entertainment was founded April 20, 2009 as an affiliate site of Breaking Tweets. In contrast to Breaking Tweets, which focuses on world news, BT Entertainment compiles the latest entertainment news and Twitter feedback on that news.
BT Entertainment will cover four main areas of the industry: television, music, movies, and celebrities. Content will include reviews, reactions, controversies, concerts, award shows, castings, and appearances/sightings.
Tweets are manually selected by editors and arranged to tell a story in a journalistic style, including transition paragraphs. Tweets are essentially treated as quotes. Those with pictures, videos, and/or eyewitness accounts from the scene are priority, while tweets with instant reaction to the news will also be selected.
Sites on the Breaking Tweets Network seek to prove the value of Twitter as both a breaking news source and journalistic platform."
Thoughts and opinions on this new form of media? I would love to hear it because I have my ideas too.
