CNBC’s Carney on how he uses social media to cover Wall Street

As the editor of the NetNet blog and the journalist who covers Wall Street and finance at CNBC, John Carney relies on social media to find out the latest on the street; who’s making what deals, who’s making news before they’re making news, who’s out, who’s in and of course the wayward ways of those so-called “Masters of the Universe.”

Here is his discussion on how he uses social media:

Chris Roush

Chris Roush was the dean of the School of Communications at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. He was previously Walter E. Hussman Sr. Distinguished Professor in business journalism at UNC-Chapel Hill. He is a former business journalist for Bloomberg News, Businessweek, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Tampa Tribune and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. He is the author of the leading business reporting textbook "Show me the Money: Writing Business and Economics Stories for Mass Communication" and "Thinking Things Over," a biography of former Wall Street Journal editor Vermont Royster.
