Chad LoderI am a citizen journalist. Elon personally banned me from Twitter. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1615748582145150978
Jay 🆘@chadloder I would love to hear Elon try to explain what he means when he says “citizen journalism”
Urban Hermit@jsit @chadloder citizen journalism is said by people that don't understand that real journalism is a profession, with ethical standards, and people get paid or fired and blacklisted based on their reputation. Journalism is not a job for part time amateurs, and quoting a part time amateur is equivalent to quoting some guy with an opinion who is also making up some facts that no one is checking.
@Urban_Hermit @jsit It is absurd to claim that citizen journalists lack ethical standards. It is even more absurd and ignorant to claim that professional journalists stand to risk more than citizen journalists if they get a story wrong.

Do you mean Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, Glenn Greenwald, and Maggie Haberman are "ethical professionals" and not hagiographers for the vile?

Access journalism isn't journalism. It public relations.
