An article was just published on Inside Facebook comparing the benefits of Twitter and Facebook for journalists. Last week Facebook set up a page that helps journalists learn how to use the Facebook platform to promote their work. Since then, there’s been a discussion online about which platform is the most useful for journalists.
The Inside Facebook article says that promoting articles on Twitter is fast and easy, but that it doesn’t offer the same interaction that Facebook does. The article says that interacting with photos, videos and polls on Facebook eventually builds a stronger audience, even if it takes journalists a longer time to set up the post.
