WESA says it's 'pausing' Twitter use due to 'company's antagonistic relationship with NPR'

The news organization said the social media network is "falsely implying that we are not editorially independent."

@BruceMirken Our local affiliate, KCRW, was one of there first to leave, 5 days ago. Very proud of them!
@BruceMirken hope they come to Mastodon
@BruceMirken But where are they going? To Mastodon?
@dkcoutant I suspect most are still figuring that out

@BruceMirken Hope the BBC jumps ship too.

@BruceMirken

They have a bot that repost their twitter account. But yes I wish all these news orgs would jump ship.

As we've seen from their parroting of the government line on Brexit (as in failing to mention it as a factor in many of the problems that UK now faces) the BBC lacks any of the courage to face down bullying by billionaires
@BruceMirken I left Twitter for good. NPR was my sign. I’m here for good.
@BruceMirken My local, CPR - Colorado Public Radio also suspended it's usage. Journalists with personal accounts allowed to decide what content they share.
@BruceMirken Great to see this. It is time to leave twitter!
@BruceMirken About time! Musk has been the same jerk the whole time, but now they decide to see it!! šŸ™„

@BruceMirken

Humptey Dumptey Twit wall is falling.

@BruceMirken we have to stop supporting fascism by stopping all support to fascist billionaires. #stopusingtwitter

If media outlets have any sense, they'll all quit. Permanently.

And join up here. 😁

@BruceMirken have you noticed them moving to Mastodon, or other sites?

Doubt they're going back to relying on organic site traffic.

@valhalla_dev Some are. @gbhnews started a Mastodon account a while back but just became really active lately.

@BruceMirken @gbhnews

Good! I think Mastodon can be a really great place for journalism if that trend continues.
