"News" in the Age of Twitter: Obama & Kanye West

From the L.A. Times: read what happened when an ABC News correspondent prematurely twittered a report that President Obama called Kanye West an "jack***."

Of course, there is a second layer of reporting here, with the LA Times reporting on the inappropriate report and echoing the news, giving the story a longer life!

Professional standards for journalists are being challenged in the age of 24/7 connectivity and immediacy.
