Salim Al-Lawzi (the highly corrupt--in every way possible--founder and editor of the highly successful magazine, Al-Hawadith, in the 1960s and early 1970s) for example would himself write the letters to the editors and would often attack in them some reporters and journalists in his staff that he would be mad at for one reason or another.

…My heart’s in Accra » Twitter and the news cycle, perfect together

What’s really interesting to me is the extent to which news reporters seem to have chosen Twitter as the go-to source for reactions to news events. It makes sense - there’s a premium in the news business on speed, on having a story faster than anyone else does, so the need for the quick quote makes Google hours to slow to help you. And the 140 character limit guarantees that whoever you quote will be pithy and limited to a single soundbite.
This, in turn, also increases the chance that you’ll be wrong. A proper quote from me would probably have been something like: “The search string ‘Michael Jackson’ is getting intense interest on Twitter at the moment, showing up in between 13-20% of tweets. It’s unlikely this level of intensity will continue through the night, but at the moment, it exceeds the intensity I’ve seen on Twitter during slower-breaking stories like #swineflu, #pman and #IranElection.” That, unfortunately, is 337 characters - far too long for anyone to read anymore. And a clarification in the form of a blogpost? That’s so 2006.
