"I’ve always thought it would make sense for newsrooms to design policies that let Twitter’s ability to deliver news shine, and mitigate other activity. Let reporters tweet headlines and breaking information. That’s it. Twitter would still be a great place to get news. Reporters would still be able to promote their work. But keeping spats and chats and personal conversations off the platform would make it less tempting for journalists to refresh Tweetdeck all day, chasing likes and retweets, overexposing themselves to industry perspectives and stories with little external relevance."

Also, stop reporting tweets as if they are news. I am long tired of reading "news articles" that simply relate what some people tweeted. Simple rule of thumb, nothing that happens on Twitter is news until it happens in the real world.

I have seen far too many news articles that basically just link to someone’s tweet that is not even verified or include any information to verify it such as pictures or video to prove what they are saying.

“I am long tired of reading “news articles” that simply relate what some people tweeted.”

The first one lies about it, the rest swear to it.

Like the barbershop mirrors reflecting back and forth.
