All 24 newspaper titles belonging to Dutch publisher BDU have set up their own Twitter accounts. Newspapers such as Ede Stad are updating their Twitter feeds with new headlines and links back to their corresponding articles.
Big names that already use Twitter to this effect include the New York Times, the Guardian and Al Jazeera. Twitter is increasingly looked to as a news breaking tool and an outlet for citizen journalism, with events such as the Hudson plane crash appearing there first and Barack Obama's inauguration being tweeted about all day by attendees.
