The Globe and Mail’s Matthew Ingram is sharing the workshop about Twitter he held for some of the journalists at the newspaper.

The presentation is on Slideshare and free to share, download or embed.  Journalists should learn about Twitter and its potential, rather than dismissing it as a fad or waste of time.

At the very least, as Ingram points out, Twitter is a good way of reaching out to and connecting with users, promoting our stories and finding sources for stories.
