MediaOnTwitter is populated by Twitter users, vetted by editors and FREE to the entire community. Users submit information via an easy-to-use web form where entries go directly to site editors for approval. Journalists will also be reminded to populate the list when submitting a query for the popular Help a Reporter Out (HARO) resource.
To celebrate the launch of the new platform (which was previously a wiki site), TrackVia will award a Kindle 2 to one user on April 13. Entries will be based off of tweets using the #mediatweet hashtag on Twitter and contributors must complete all required information for each entry.
MediaOnTwitter now allows media, public relations and other professionals to:
COLLECT media contact information using a web form that automatically populates in a shareable database;
ORGANIZE a growing list of media and bloggers from around the world as well as sort and view contacts by country, media outlet or name; and
SHARE media on Twitter information through dynamic published reports accessible at three locations.
After April 20, the MediaOnTwitter database will be permanently housed on: http://PRSarahEvans.com and http://www.DigitalIdeamedia.com.
