Reuters reporters to Twitter from Davos

Charlotte McEleny of New Media Age reports that Reuters journalists covering the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland plan to use Twitter to provide updates to readers.

McEleny writes, “A Twitter feed will be constantly updated by reporters at the forum and Reuters will also upload video clips filmed on site at the event and exclusive interviews with delegates.

“Reuters plans to incorporate the best reactions and comments into its own website and coverage.

“The full coverage, kicks off on Wednesday with a 90-minute morning broadcast show streaming live from the Reuters website.

“The show will discuss key themes from the forum with up to ten leading delegates talking on the show.

Mark Jones, global community editor at Thomson Reuters, said, ‘We want to turn the coverage around, by asking delegates what they think the biggest issues facing the global economy are, then use social media to let the public offer their opinion.'”
