Although I am not a fan of Twitter, newspapers should use it. The Internet is a very big part of today's world. People are always on the Internet. Many people even have the Internet on their expensive new cell phones. If newspapers hope to stay in business, they have to reach new customers. The Internet is the obvious answer because everyone is online.
Newspapers can use Twitter in many ways. Twitter allows newspapers to list quick headlines and posts that draw viewers in. Some are used to draw readers into their sites; others are used as websites with up dates and headlines(a stand-alone channel). For example, during the California wildfires, the L.A. times used a Twitter page to provide updates and evacuation notices. Most importantly, Twitter allows newspapers to find an elusive younger audience. Many young adults do not read the paper and the easiest way to reach them is on the Internet. Therefore, it is a very good idea for newspapers to use Twitter.
