While #NPR and #PBS have quit #Twitter (without mentioning #Mastodon however), Germany's biggest public broadcaster #ARD and #ZDF are not only already testing their own instances for quite a while (https://dev.ard.social/public/local & https://zdf.social/public/local): The first proper account is now live and posts news articles from northern Germany – @NDR

Let's see, if NPR and PBS find their way here. Oh and where is the #BBC?

I did mention Mastodon below their last tweet on 13.04.2023: https://twitter.com/frankschoschka/status/1646283113729867777

And I assume that they did not mention it, because according to Musks linkage rules that info could've been deleted.

@mho @NDR

what is official? I'm not affiliated! What's official is what you also covered, that they actually started to use the mastodon account after stopping on twitter.
