Twitter might give us the "latest" news. However you 'd better know that it is very hard to find the truth among such rough and ready news. We cannot confirm that it is true until such news is reported by the authority.
Twitter appears to have succeeded in enhancing horizontal connection in the internet. Every P can become a news source. Even if one P releases a false rumor, it might spread all over the world.
Billy Joel sings in "Honesty", "If you look for truthfulness, you might just as well be blind".
However I don't think you might be blind. You would easily find something you can rely upon only if you could turn your eyes back to traditional media.
