Following The Press, and Breaking “The Glass in Front of the Tube”

The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz (@HowardKurtz) writes about the newest Twitter craze — television anchors and correspondents’ active participation.

“While dwarfed by the likes of Facebook, which has become so mainstream it can hardly be viewed as edgy, the bare-bones Twitter has been generating considerable buzz lately,” writes Kurtz.

“Here’s a chance through Twitter, all these social networks, to break the glass in front of the tube,” says ABC’s @TerryMoran.

“I want to find people where they are…This is ‘Knock knock, let’s talk about the news, and by the way, hope you’ll check me out on Sunday morning,’” says NBC’s @DavidGregory.

Also mentioned in the piece are one of the original tweeting tvnewsers, CNN’s @RickSanchez, and FNC’s @JulieBanderas.
