But what the interest in Mrs Stroud’s story on Twitter shows, is that the public, if only on Twitter are beginning to show outrage at the way that mainstream media covers stories that are of interest to them. The openness of Twitter, and for example the fact that me and people like today’s programme editor are on Twitter means there is a greater requirement to justify the editorial decisions that we make. Programmes like Channel 4 News do take note of the Twittersphere and we do engage to explain why some stories make the air while others don’t. I for example, often moan to Twitter when an interesting story of mine is dropped in favour of a new, breaking news story.
