ABSTRACT
Julia Gillens carry out a case study a professional person developing Web 2.0 literacies in a very public and, she seeks to show, particularly fascinating context, being relatively unlikely ground for the sprouting of an internet change agent. The subject of Julia Gillen research is a journalist who specialises in the sport of cricket, Jonathan Agnew. He is the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBCs) cricket correspondent, so the most prominent person covering the sport for the national broadcaster, although he is not an employee. It is typical of Agnew that he crafts a short Twitter story that can be made sense of by readers who are new to his output but which also has layers of meaning that will resonate with longstanding readers. Images became integrated with Twitter, so that the picture and message mentioned could be seen together, at least on some devices.
