Twitter’s Benefits to Gossip Magazines
Twitter can be used for various reasons; it can help business reach their audience, it can help people communicate and engage with their friends and it can help people meet new people. It’s a social media network that’s increasingly used by celebrities, and it can bring people closer to their lives.
Gossip magazines thrive on this aspect of twitter, because the fact is there are plenty of celebrity feuds and rumours out there to document and help fill the pages of these glossy magazines. Once something is posted on social media it’s essentially out there for the world to see, and there would not be a large number of legal issues to deal with if a gossip magazine was to use a celebrity’s content or images in their magazine, especially if it can be deemed to be in the public’s interest.
Twitter is a tool for journalists and it’s certainly a hot spot for seeking the latest hearsay, and gossip magazine writers will continue to contain juicy stories from the Twitter.
