Do you get your news from Facebook and other social media?
Just 9% of those who were surveyed earlier this year in a Pew Research Center study said they frequently follow news recommendations from either Facebook or Twitter when using computers, smartphones or tablets.
“Social media is secondary,” said Amy Mitchell, deputy director of the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. “Clearly it’s grown, clearly it’s the new player and part of the landscape, but it’s not the overwhelming driver.”
I’m pretty sure many sites traffic reports would disagree with this.

“Twitter Inc. has acknowledged that after mobile users tap the “Find friends” feature on its smartphone app, the company downloads users’ entire address book, including names, email addresses and phone numbers, and keeps the data on its servers for 18 months.
The company also said it plans to update its apps to clarify that user contacts are being transmitted and stored. The company’s current privacy policy does not explicitly disclose that Twitter downloads and stores user address books.”

Auto-Posting
As many more news organizations are moving toward hand-curating social media posts, I’m moving us in the opposite direction.
Why? Because it needs to be done.
We’re a lot different from other news organizations. We don’t have a large reporting staff. We have one reporter in each town. We have a handful of assistant editors and only a few managing editors who oversee our 51 different sites.
51 sites = 51 Facebook pages = 51 Twitter accounts
To keep our reporters working in the field, filing stories, staying on top of their towns, we need to optimize their time. To do that, we’re auto-posting our links to Facebook and Twitter.
But (of course there’s a but), they’ll still be asked to write their own tweets and status updates for breaking news, traffic, weather or any other updates that need a timely distribution. They’ll also be using it as a listening post to gather and curate information from people in their town.
We’ll still be engaging. We’ll still be a two-way street of journalism. We’ll still be listening.
I’ll be testing a lot of different options and tweaks to the distribution of our content to see what’s best for delivering out content.
Let’s go.
