Everyone in the newsroom, I’m sure, is tired of me extolling the virtues of Twitter. I won’t shutup about it. I can’t shutup about it. @theindependent’s follower list keeps growing and it shows us that our readers want our awesome local content delivered to them in many different ways. My job is to do just that.

So I am working on creating Twitter accounts for every reporter. Once they begin updating regularly, I will add them to the list to the left, of Independent Twitterers that you can follow. And to kick off that list, our own Scott Kingsley (@skingsley) is jumping into it with enthusiasm! He’ll tweet from the road as he works through his photo assignments, reporting any news he may come across, or you can just enjoy reading tweets about the life of a professional photographer.

Also welcome to @georgeayoub! George is dreaming up all kinds of fancy ways to implement Twitter so he’s worth following!

Thanks for reading!
