Jeff JarvisThe Washington Post is the newspaper most likely to try stuff and I'm delighted that @jeremybowers says they're spinning up a Mastodon instance as we speak. Bravo.
naught101@jeffjarvis @jeremybowers just now he said they may not be:

@[email protected] @[email protected] Jury still out on if we host an instance, but we're actively working on adding links to profiles for our journalists! Trust is important!
Jeremy Bowers@jeffjarvis @naught101 Eh, we’re working through the pros and cons. We’re bullish on Mastodon though.

As a long time subscriber to the Washington Post, I really hope you create your own instance here. Several other news orgs have already done so.
@BylinesNetwork
@TexasObserver
@TucsonSentinel
@restofworld
Maybe talk to them and see how it's going for them?
Texas Observer@ZhiZhu @jeremybowers @jeffjarvis @naught101 @BylinesNetwork @TucsonSentinel @restofworld we're happy to chat with almost anyone in the media about this ... obviously we're a much smaller newsroom which I'm sure makes a huge difference in this kind of thing :)
