The complaints, fears and angst surrounding changes at troubled tech giant Twitter began unraveling on its own platform by the very people who report the news — journalists.
First it began when Twitter CEO Elon Musk suggested that he would charge additional money for Twitter users to verify their profiles, which could be costly for large news organizations that employ hundreds of people. Then, layoffs hit several teams at the San Francisco-based company, including employees who helped news organizations promote their stories on the platform.
Now, what made Twitter most relevant — a constant streaming flow of discourse from influencers, politicians and celebrities — could be in doubt as Musk seeks to restructure some of the useful tools of its platform, including the verified status of newsmakers and how news articles get highlighted on the platform.
