There was a whole lot of “Tweeting” going on at the recent NPC luncheon featuring Chris Silk. Member interest in social media communication was very apparent in the active question and answer period. Silk, social media editor for the Naples Daily News, treated the crowd  to a “Day in the life of a Social Media Journalist ", with a brief introduction to the tools the newspaper uses to stay connected to the community in the shifting media landscape.
