I had hoped by now that the media would have begun to divorce Twitter. Instead, some journalists are doubling down.

Some thoughts on why:

Why journalists can't quit Twitter

The media should be building alternatives. Instead, some are doubling down

@caseynewton I think maybe what journos who won't leave the twit don't get is that most people don't use Twitter, at all. So, as long as journos don't base stories on tweets, they can stay on Twitter for all I care. When they do base stories on tweets, I don't read them. And since I don't watch cable news, I can't be passively programmed that way.

So journos... go ahead and tweet. I might see it on Mastodon.
