According to entertainment editor, Jamila Robinson of the AJC, when there is a new social media site, they "get on it" right away. 
"It depends on how useful the social media site is.." 
Robinson uses Instagram and "loves" it. She thinks it's very convenient because there isn't a character limit and a photo can be added. 
"....we show stories and pictures." She says.
Robinson thinks Twitter is also a great way to get news out in a short amount of time and to gather information. She uses it often in her line of work.

Mark Waligore, a managing editor at the AJC, says that the company has a meeting every morning at 8:00. In this meeting they discuss important information. 
"Typically this meeting is where we ask 'what should we follow'" 
They typically follow stories of high interest.
"A lot of our best stories come from a follow up" Waligore said.
