Pixels Of Color
by Chris Bodenner
John Dickerson makes the case for Twitter journalism:
We can all agree that journalism shouldn't get any smaller, but Twitter
doesn't threaten the traditions of our craft. It adds, rather than
subtracts, from what we do. As I spend nearly all of my time on the road these days reporting on
the presidential campaigns, Twitter is the perfect place for all of
those asides I've scribbled in the hundreds of notebooks I have in my
garage from the campaigns and stories I've covered over the years.
Inside each of those notebooks are little pieces of color I've picked
up along the way. Sometimes these snippets are too off-topic or too
inconsequential to work into a story. Sometimes they are the little
notions or sideways thoughts that become the lede of a piece or the
kicker. All of them now have found a home on Twitter.
