TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE
Dennis Kneale, who left CNBC in the fall for a new gig at Fox Business Network, is doing a lot of shameless promotion on Twitter in recent weeks.
Last month, he tweeted this: “Cup-runneth-over-dept.: my FoxBiz hits today at 12:45, full hour at 3pm, 4:55pm. Also on FoxNews’s ‘forbes on fox’ saturday 11am.”
On the same day, he tweeted this: “But it would be nice if you guysd wud help me ensure Mom aint the only one watchin’. Okay?”
Kneale sounds like he is desperate for attention and is asking people to re-tweet an appearance and to watch him on Fox Business. Journalists aren’t supposed to make the story about them. Aren’t they supposed to be focused on breaking actual business news?
Speaking of breaking business news, the story Kneale has been following all week has been the Watson computer on “Jeopardy” when there’s been plenty of breaking business news this week.
To be sure, Kneale is using Twitter to post some headlines of breaking news. But it’s the call for viewers that seems so unbecoming. If you’re good, the viewers will follow.

As much as we all hate a self-promoter, the writer of this item clearly doesn't understand Twitter, which is all about shouting out your own comings-and-goings--and that includes media appearances and the like. Kneale is only doing what every other writer/editor/anchor on Twitter does all day everyday.
