Forms of media

As you would know, many organisations have policies for dealing with enquiries from the media. It is normally simple - pass all questions through to the PR/Communications team.

I am seeing this as not an IT policy issue but as an issue with potential to impact the entire business. Having said that, IT clearly needs to lead this discussion, bring it to the table and show the parallels with the more mainstream forms of media. As you say, there are some influential Twitterers out there ... and an off-hand tweet could cause significant damage.

I am not necessarily saying that Twitter and its ilk ought to be banned ... just that there needs to be a greater level of awareness about its potential impact.
