Suggestions (but not standards) for live tweeting September 6, 2011 by Steve Buttry "Do you know of any standards for content of live tweets?" a commenter asked on my blog recently. "I have students live tweet meetings and speeches. Would love some specific guidelines for what makes a good tweet," asked Michele Day, who teaches journalism at Northern Kentucky University. I know of no such standards. And if I did, I'd probably react that "standards" for a developing pursuit such as live-tweeting might be a bit rigid. This is a new technique and we are learning about it as we do it. I don't want standards to inhibit our development and experimentation with the technique. My standards would be the standards of good reporting: Be accurate, fair, interesting and engaging. https://stevebuttry.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/suggestions-but-not-standards-for-live-tweeting
