Tips for using Twitter

Twitter can and should be an integral part of your station's communication and social media strategy.

Twitter is a great place to follow updates from members and organisations form your local community, politicians, other news outlets and of course, other community broadcasters. It's also a great way to easily interact with others, by 'liking' or 're-tweeting' their tweets, or by sending them a personal message. By doing so, it helps keep your station on people's minds. It's also a great way to interact with young audiences, and to increase the skill set of your communication volunteers.
