My Journalist Page got a 4 -star rating / myLot

I was so happy when I woke to find the new rating system I added to my Facebook Journalist Page got a 4-star rating. It's the first time I've used the rating system and I'm happy my followers are enjoying the news I share with them. Recently, I activated Periscope on Twitter. Again something I've never used before but because I cover so much breaking news, instead of just a photo or uploading a video, I can now post LIVE coverage. It's nice to know people enjoy what I bring to them. Happy Dance!

Being a journalist is tough. Great to know you have a good rating which means many people are happy with what you have created. Keep it up.

@WendySpickerman I was going to have a look at your efforts and get inspired. Britspeak can be obscure at times!

I'm a contract journalist so you'll never see me as an anchor but I do go out and cover the weather myself, so in those video's you might see me. And I always share those links out on twitter and to my Facebook Page. I don't get on here as much as I would like because of work but I pop in and try to stay connected.

I am not familiar with anything on Twitter. I made an account but Twitter turned me off, can't even keep up with all the short blurbs, I just go to Facebook. Congratulations on your high rating! Hey it's great you can post live.

But two years ago, I didn't even want to touch twitter and now I find it's helped me in so many ways.I can get statements from officials just by sending them a p.m. They know me enough to know I'll ask to quote them before writing anything. And they keep me informed answering my questions just so I have background to work off of on a piece. Plus, I get job offers because people see my credibility front and center.
