Lateline adds Guest Tweeters

Lateline will invite a 'Guest Tweeter" to provide online commentary every night, starting with Malcolm Turnbull.

From Monday night Lateline will invite a ‘Guest Tweeter” to provide online commentary, beginning with Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband, Malcolm Turnbull @TurnbullMalcolm.

The tweets will not be seen on screen during the broadcast, but viewers and tweeters will be able to join in online or on their mobile phones by following the #lateline hashtag.

Selected tweets will be read out at the end of the program when possible.

Also featuring next week are Nobel-winning physicist Professor Brian Schmidt (@cosmicpinot ) and The Chaser’s Chas Licciardello (@ChasLicc).

The ABC1 show intends to invite a ‘Guest Tweeter’ to participate each night the program airs. Viewers can suggest future ‘Guest Tweeters’ – from any walk of life – via Twitter (@lateline), by emailing [email protected] or by calling 02 8333 3822.

  1. Why is the ABC, and in particular the ABC News division using taxpayer money to promote a third party, offshore, commercial venture?

    Surely this has to break some kind of ethics rule?
