Today in an e-mail from Twitter’s PR team, the company introduced Twitter for Newsrooms (#TfN), a compelling resource akin to Facebook for Journalists that will help optimize the platform’s reporting potential. The guide contains four sections, #report, #engage, #publish and #extra, each with a variety of best practices geared towards streamlining Twitter reporting and making Twitter a more efficient journalism tool. While much of the information won’t ring fresh for reporters already knee-deep in social media sourcing, it’s a comprehensive and helpful resource for journalists of all levels hoping to gain some insight into Twitter’s potential for journalists. So what does the new guide include?

#Report “A suite of search tools that allow you and your colleagues to search as much as you need to.”

#Engage “Examples of journalists using Twitter to improve the way they connect with audiences, share news and, through it all, build deeper and broader communities.”

#Publish Tools that enable you to “connect tweets to actions.”

#Extra Helpful links to Twitter blogs, Twitter in other languages and a variety of other resources.” Source:  Mediabistro
