A banner panel on The Kojo Nnamdi Show (@kojoshow) this afternoon, as DCist senior editor Martin Austermuhle (@DCist_Martin) will be joined by community activist and ANC 7C04 Commissioner Sylvia Brown (@ANC7C04), New York Times reporter Ashley Parker (@AshleyRParker), and Mandy Jenkins, formerly of TBD and now a Social News Editor at the Huffington Post (@mjenkins).

In case you didn’t realize what they’re talking about today from the inclusion of all those handles, it’s Twitter and the role it plays in breaking news and informing the community-at-large. You can go here to hear the dulcet tones of Martin’s sweet Swiss baritone tell you all about the art of the retweet during the noon hour, or simply address your dial to 88.5 FM.
