Drivers taking to Twitter to warn about roadside checks

Drivers taking to Twitter to warn about roadside checks

Drivers are increasingly taking to Twitter to warn fellow motorists, who may have been sipping some spiked eggnog before getting behind the wheel, about the location of police roadside checks.
Drivers are increasingly taking to Twitter to warn fellow motorists, who may have been sipping some spiked eggnog before getting behind the wheel, about the location of police roadside checks.
Calgary Police Chief Rick Hanson complained about the phenomenon this week, saying he is astounded that anyone would want to assist an impaired driver who is effectively endangering lives by getting behind the wheel.

Twitter is, in many ways, the backchannel of social media. Journalists, designers, celebrities and politicians use it to connect one on one and en mass.
But thousands of businesses call the micro-blogging platform home as well. Using it to engage their community, entertain fans, and convert followers into word of mouth customers.
We thought it was about time we took a closer look at what brands are using Twitter the best. This is a tough nut to crack, so we pulled in some hired guns to help us make the call.
But as I said, we need your help to get started.

World Press Freedom Day

 

Previously a global leader, Canada has fallen behind in promoting and protecting freedom of information. Last year, CJFE gave a failing grade to the Harper government’s access to information policies, citing delayed response times and federal agencies invoking national security at the drop of a hat to restrict information.

At the event, which marks World Press Freedom Day, CJFE will release its second annual “Review of Free Expression in Canada 2010/2011.” Paula Todd will discuss the Review’s assessment of the performance of Canada’s major institutions on free speech. The Review also explores hate speech, Wikileaks, whistleblowing and the protection of sources.

WHO:                              

Moderator:

• Anna Maria Tremonti, host of CBC Radio One’s The Current

Panellists:

• Dean Beeby, The Canadian Press Deputy Bureau Chief in Ottawa
• John Reid, former Information Commissioner of Canada
• Paula Todd, investigative journalist with CTV’s W5

WHEN: Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Doors open at 6:30pm   Event starts at 7:00 pm
WHERE: The NOW Lounge189 Church Street, Toronto
TICKETS & INFO: Admission is free, but seating is limited. Please register online at: http://www.cjfepanel.eventbrite.com/

Light refreshments and cash bar.

May 6, 2011 - Posted by Lauren McKeon
The Press Complaints Commission in the UK is expected to start regulating reporter and Twitter feeds, according to a recent article in the Guardian.
The Commission believes that certain postings are part of a newspaper's editorial product, and should be treated as such.
