Does a Journalist's Social Media Feed Affect or Predict News Coverage?
The Journalist of my choice is Dr. Sanjay Gupta:
He is the multiple Emmy award winning chief medical correspondent for CNN. Gupta,a practicing neurosurgeon, plays an integral role in CNN reporting on health and medical news for all of CNN's shows domestically and internationally, and contributes to CNN.com. His medical training and public health policy experience distinguishes his reporting from war zones and natural disasters, as well as on a range of medical and scientific topics, including the recent Ebola outbreak, brain injury, disaster recovery, health care reform, fitness, military medicine, and HIV/AIDS.
Does the journalist use Twitter for reporting, personal use, or both?
I do not think that he uses Twitter for his personal use,he does it more for the public.Gupta's passion for inspiring Americans to lead healthier, more active lives led him to launch "Fit Nation," CNN's multi-platform anti-obesity initiative. In 2009, "Fit Nation" followed the progress of Gupta and six CNN viewers as they inspired each other while training for a triathlon. The program is now in its sixth year.
Based on his/her number of followers, do you think the journalist has a strong following?
Yes I think he does because he contributes to the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes. He is the author of three New York Times best-selling books, Chasing Life (2007), Cheating Death (2009) and Monday Mornings (2012).In 2003,he was named one of PEOPLE magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" and a "pop culture icon" by USA Today. That same year, he also won the Humanitarian Award from the National Press Photographers Association. In 2004, the Atlanta Press Club named him "Journalist of the Year" and in 2009, he won both the first Health Communications Achievement Award from the American Medical Association's Medical Communications Conference and the Mickey Leland Humanitarian Award from the National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC),etc,etc.
Does the journalist's Twitter feed indicate any type of bias in his or her reporting?
The way the world is today,one can never please or satisfy everyone.When journalists do present reports sometimes there are viewers who like it and some do not so it is 50/50.
Do you think the journalist's use of social media enhances his or her reporting?
With the presence of Social Media,it has become one of the best outlet of news broadcast that is attracting a lot of audience so I think it is his best means to send his message across.
Give an example of a tweet that helped shape a news story he/she was reporting or covering.
One example of his tweet is his report on the healthcare system of Cuba.He traveled to Havana to learn more about the healthcare system of that country.He describe how despite being one of the poorest countries in the world, Cuba's healthcare has a lot to offer the medical field.The rest can be seen from the link below-
