11. The Daily Show O The program’s Twitter account tries to maintain a balance of reporting on the news in a humorous manner, advertise the upcoming episode to be aired (program, interviews, and guests alike), and report on breaking news stories.

12. Context

13. My findings O 140 Characters is limiting. O Subtext can be difficult. O The person tweeting/the company tweeting matters. O Context! O Why is this tweeted? O Was this on the show itself?

14. Thank You. Does Anyone Have Any Questions?
