Not commenting on the changes, but whoa look at that! A DVcam camera from 2009 with appears to be a wireless microwave transmitter on the back. Well before the @dejero days.

Nice try, fake @Fidomobile pretender tele-scammer, trying to call me from a +33 country number and not speak in French.

@JimmyNorman @Donnchaom @NuachtRTE @RTEOne @SonyCine @Haivision What’s the mic?

Print correspondent with a 66-minute story to read, yet interesting feature to help readers pick up where they stopped mid-read.

[Mark MacKinnon @markmackinnon]

It's long (it will be a special section in the Saturday print edition) but @globeandmail has a new bookmarking feature, so you can start reading now, and pick up later where you left off!

I wonder what Beijing’s built in delay is after the signal hits China from CNNI in Atlanta.

[Erin Burnett @ErinBurnett]

Beijing let this report air without censor… until @willripleyCNN said the word “Tiananmen”…they hit the bars and tone.

[Mark Blanchard @newsmark]

@MSNBC minutes ahead of @CNN with their counter and readout.

[Mark Blanchard @newsmark]

Copy paste one word. @MSNBC with the verdict counter.

One on one reporter with leader interviews on location after an event. Take note, Canadian political campaign organizers.

[Lewis Warner @LewisJWarner]

The press call was the PM building

*checks notes*

a red brick wall

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

I know political campaigning is tough - but:
DON’T let the microphones be set up so you are filmed with a crane coming out of your head
DON’T be filmed underneath an exit sign
And as for going to visit where the Titanic was built…….

@solo16broadcast @BBCNews @LiveU 2x5G?

[Gemma Whalley @gemwhalley]

The moment the PM arrives for the big speech and your presenter is still talking. Big respect to @billyhooke directing and sorry to @reetacbbc for cutting you short, would never dream to any other day! #BreakingNews‌ #behindthescenes

I had a spirited talk with an OPP officer covering the tragic boat crash. He insisted we leave the area because it was “private property” though the owner didn’t object. We complied. I asked him which way the crashed boats would be towed. His answer: “none of your business.”
