\"\"\u2018How do journalists use social media?\u2019 is a question asked in Cision\u2019s and Canterbury Christ Church University\u2019s Social Journalism Study<\/a>, the UK part of a global study; the answers were discussed across the internet and in some respects across the globe.<\/p>\n

The most popular point picked up on was that nearly a third (28%) of journalists couldn\u2019t do their job without social media. This was coupled with the fact 80% of journalists use Twitter. These two figures show a growing reliance on internet tools for the modern media professional.<\/p>\n

The Press Gazette<\/a>, The Drum<\/a>, The Wall<\/a> and others discuss the negative aspects social media is having on journalists including concerns over privacy, a reduction in productivity and the effect it is having on their audiences.<\/p>\n

Other coverage, including the Media Digest<\/a> and Media Bistro<\/a> focus on the positive aspects social media tools have and how they are helping journalists. Media Bistro, along with Sociable360<\/a>, highlights Twitter\u2019s own best practises guide for journalists<\/a> and links it to our study. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The infographic<\/a> that accompanies the study and identifies the five different types of social media journalists (Architects, Observers, Hunters, Promoters and Sceptics) was the most common representation of the study on the internet. \u00a0The Think Tank<\/a>, PRmoment<\/a> and Graham Jones<\/a> all use the infographic which provides a story in itself.<\/p>\n

As world news, the study was picked up in Brazil<\/a>, Italy<\/a> and Indonesia<\/a>, the latter comparing it to a study by the Press Council of Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Another source of international reportage was America \u2013 the MediaPost<\/a> running a discussion with the headline: \u2018U.K. Journos on Social Media: Meh\u2019, identifying sceptical attitudes some journalists have towards social media. MediaJobsDaily<\/a> went with the idea that journalists \u2018can\u2019t live without social media\u2019.<\/p>\n

Individual results are picked out of the study: CorpComms<\/a> looks at the professional and personal split of journalists\u2019 social media use; Dimitrios Journeys<\/a> covers the different types of journalists that appear in the infographic; and Journalism.co.uk<\/a> focuses on productivity.<\/p>\n

Through its use as a launch point for a conversation about the civil service and social media<\/a>, a lead into rules of social media engagement<\/a>, PR news<\/a> and part of a business news roundup<\/a>, it is clear the Social Journalism Study 2012 has a varied and far-reaching audience with relevant information for many different sectors and professionals.<\/p>\n
