Gay Times Twitters “Strangled Lee” Story

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Our press release about Lee from Steps being strangled in a scene from new British action thriller movie Ten Dead Men was picked up by Gay Times yesterday.

Interestingly Gay Times used their Twitter page to “Tweet” the news and to ask their readers if they would like to see the pics of Lee getting strangled.

There was an overwhelming response from GT readers saying they wanted to see the shots - which were duly published on the GT website. Click here to see for yourself.

It’s an interesting use of Twitter - more and more journalists and media outlets are using the site to gauge reader response to a story before it is published. In a way it’s the ultimate in citizen journalism as readers become editors.

Ten Dead Men is out on DVD on May 25. It’s available now for pre-order at Amazon. Click here to buy your copy.
