Wondering aloud when this became practice, Twitter user Thomas Hinton (a photog at The Post is also named Thomas Hinton) responded via Twitter that The Post started 'Sponsored Tweets' just just week. Though tweets as advertising are becoming common on celebrity Twitter feeds, we might be witnessing a new practice developing in the financially challenged print media industry.
Have you seen other print media providing 'Sponsored Tweets' in their feed?
