10. 1. Tweet More
Understand the rules of your newsroom
Recognize that your personal “brand” may be more important to you (long term) than the brand of your news organization

11. 2. Be conversational
Talk to people (but remember you are publishing with every statement)
Ask questions (in general or directly)
“Be yourself”

12. Develop stories Crowdsourcing: ask community for ideas or information
If you ask someone a question in or in person, figure out how to ask the question publicly on Twitter (or FB)

13. Develop relationships
Ask who to follow
Follow opinion leaders on your beat
Follow public officials on your beat
Follow other journalists on your beat
Then talk to them. ;-)

14. 3. Listen What, exactly does this mean?
