#29 - Nina Diamond, master Twitter user

Nina Diamond has been a freelance journalist and humorist for more than 30 years.

 

"I've worked on assignments for many newspapers and magazines," Diamond told It's All Journalism Producer Michael O'Connell. "I've been a regular contributor to many of them. But my office primarily has been at home. And when I joined Twitter, I came to realize instantly that Twitter was now my office. And there have been countless 'a-ha moments' that reinforce the important news value of Twitter in the 2 1/2 years that I've been on."

 

Recognizing the importance of Twitter as a news-delivery platform, Diamond has become its master, using lists to organize the feeds of thousands of journalists and news outlets. She shares some of her secrets in this podcast.

Diamond's work has appeared in The Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, The Miami Herald, Omni and the Sunday magazine of The South Florida Sun-Sentinel. She was also a writer and performer on NPR's Pandemonium.
