#SkyNews New #SocialMedia Guidelines Get Twitter Buzzing

Quick catch-up - First Tweet today on this story was posted by Kevin Bakhurst, followed up quickly by Josh Halliday. All very interesting in light of the News:Rewired event that took place on Friday 3rd Feb where Neal Mann ( @fieldproducer ) took part in a debate on "Setting Social Media Standards"

    I'm told #SkyNews have stopped their journos retweeting information/tweets from journalists or people not working for Sky. Must be wrong??

    @kevinbakhurst Good old @fieldproducer can't stop retweeting non-Sky employees – and he's the man who should know..

    If that's true re #SkyNews - I can't see how they can engage on Twitter effectively? Must be wrong - someone tell me...

    I'm told it's true that Sky News journalists have been told not to retweet ANYONE who is not a Sky News journalist! Checking

    Story about #SkyNews ban on staff retweeting other ppl has been on Twitter for over 30 mins without reply. Must be true. Weird.

    This #SkyNews social media stuff is totally off the wall. Nothing like chaining up vibrant new media with archaic regulations. #FreeNeal

    Sky News 'tweet-wall' story developing, on Twitter, appropriately. Is it real? #skynews
