Headline vs reality

The headline:

Twittering public servants waste work of four

Public servants spend at least 8482 hours a year on Twitter, a Dominion Post investigation suggests – the equivalent of a year’s work for four full-time staff.

Later in the article we find:

Of those departments allowing Twitter access, most reported monthly use of five to 10 minutes per staffer.

So an average of 15 to 30 seconds a day. Jesus Christ – how does this qualify to be a story. I wish media would report news more rather than invent it.
