   I’d be interested to see which of the newspapers, radio and TV stations are able to make it out of the broadcast only mentality and start INTERACTING with their followers… Shall we put a date on it and see what the ratios are in say, December?

      @NZRob – good point, I’ve written about this very issue in Can Twitter be journalism? and More on Twitter as journalism. The bottom line is only about 40 percent of Twitter media accounts are interacting.
