Los Angeles Times is only one news paper which are connected with people all time, I also read it daily Los Angeles Times & The New York Times but I receive breaking news faster from LA Times.

There are many webmasters who wish to organize, manage, store and search bookmarks of websites with the help of keyword to find the relevant website. Through Social bookmarking system many webmasters save their links online so that people can know about their site. These bookmarks are saved with two options public or private, if private option is chosen while saving bookmark then nobody can see this bookmark and if it is set to public then bookmarks can be seen by all over the world.

The first one has to be my favorite:

“Integrity is our most important commodity: Avoid writing or posting anything that would embarrass The Times or compromise your ability to do your job.”

Apparently, what they really mean is that the appearance of integrity is their most important commodity. Journalists shouldn’t post anything that might embarrass the Times, even if it’s the truth.

Sure thing, Frank. I neglected to mention that folks can find more than 200 @latimes-related Twitter accounts via http://latimes.com/twitter — we add new ones frequently, often based on reader requests. There are a couple Tweepml links atop that page that enable one-click following of multiple accounts.

I’d venture to say that our newsroom’s embrace of and engagement with this thing called social media is as progressive and aggressive as any major news organization, at least in the English-speaking world.

@Andrew – NP. I am just starting to realize that while traditional journalists are called to stay on both sides of the fence there is possibly too much room on the blog side to get unbalanced real fast. Of course, that’s [art of the fun of blogging but when it gets over the top it becomes a caricature of itself. Keep up the great work and thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Frank for posting the most balanced take I’ve seen about our updated Social Media Guidelines — http://latimes.com/socialmedia. (I found your post via @BrentDPayne’s tweet).

I’d emphasize that they are intentionally couched as guidelines, and not set-in-stone Policy, since our Standards & Practices committee (of which I’m a member) appreciates that the social realm is fluid, and that a set-it-and-forget-it approach will fail.

Looking forward to following you on Twitter and continuing the convo,
