In that post, I essentially agreed with a post by Jeff Jarvis in which he argued that the WSJ policy “missed the point” of social media in general by trying to lock down the behaviour of reporters too much — by restricting them from discussing their stories, being too personal, etc. Both Steve Buttry of Gazette Communications, in a post at his personal blog and Gina Chen at Save The Media agreed with Jarvis as well, saying the rules were too restrictive and that the newspaper was in danger of missing out on much of the value of social media. Similar thoughts were posted by Pat Thornton at BeatBlogging.org. [...] [...] This is an update to a recent post about the Wall Street Journal and its policies on Twitter use by its staff.

Neufeld has been active on Twitter and social media (for work and personal), and Tribune as a whole has been rather forward thinking with social media. Colonel Tribune personifies their social media ethos.

This not just true for the net, it is also true of radio and tv where they are conspicuously absent. Part of it, I believe is to remain apart from the talking head mentality that pervades the media today that mixes, entertainment, opinion and news. There is something to be said for aiming at a higher standard. While the speed of the net can get in the way of the facts, good reporting requires a good editorial gatekeeper in the search for the truth. Perhaps this is their goal whether the social media like it on not. For a long time the WSJ has not been in the current media game.
