UW Imposes 20-Tweet Limit On Live Events

Posted by Unknown on from the am-radio-on-the-attack dept.

theodp writes "GeekWire's Taylor Soper reports that the University of Washington has capped live sports coverage at 20 Tweets per basketball game (45 for football) and threatens to revoke the credentials of journalists who dare exceed the Twitter limits. Tacoma News Tribune reporter Todd Dybas was reportedly 'reprimanded' after drawing the ire of the UW Athletic Dept. for apparently Tweeting too much during UW's 85-63 Sunday win over Loyola."

    I'm assuming it's not their job to write tweets and drive traffic toward their personal twitter feed, but to write stories that the employer can sell. No?
