Real Tweets, Fake News … and More from the NEJHE Beat …
Harney, John O.
New England Journal of Higher Education, May 2017
Twitter is the closest thing that New England Higher Education has to a news service. Every New England Journal of Higher Education (NEJHE) item automatically posts to Twitter. But NEJHE also uses Twitter to disseminate relevant stories from outside. Not so much communicating personally, but aggregating interesting news or opinion from elsewhere, sometimes juxtaposed with something the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) has worked on in the past, sometimes with an original comment but not always. This article presents how New England Higher Education uses Twitter and presents some examples of their tweets.
