HOW NEWSPAPERS USED TWITTER

Many newspapers have used awards shows to interact with readers. My former paper, The Florida Times-Union, used the hashtag #jaxoscars for its Oscar-related tweets. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch used #stlfilm. Following the snark on Twitter was more fun than the actual awards. Much more fun.
