Global network Al Jazeera, which recently launched social media-based program The Stream, is expanding the use of social media to report its news programs.
The social-media based segment called Egyptian Tweets, first aired after the Egyptian revolution. It now covers news in that country relying on Twitter updates for news on its dedicated Egypt channel Al Jazeera Mubasher-Egypt.
