What would it take to get photo journalists and video journalists on the Fediverse?

They can keep using Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc, too.

But, what would it take to ALSO get them here?

@reiver since journos want instant mass broadcast there would have to be a widely adopted starter pack type thing or maybe a mastodon-level filter/tag full of vetted journalists that any fedi user could opt-in & “follow all the journos”; then this would have to hook into each journalist’s “homebase" (kind of like what Ghost is working on). And then analytics. Any journalist doing what you’re asking wants to see needles move and reach increase. Not easy. It was fun back when hashtags were enough.

Isn't this just chasing the pipe dream of a no hope journalist who, in essence, wants something for nothing? tbh, I'm struggling to think of a journalist I'd care to follow even if they were on the fedi. But, what you say about hashtags...... that's interesting, isn't it?

@gruff @tsutrav

There are a number of journalists who I pay attention to who are on YouTube, Instagram, and YouTube.

I would love to see them here, too.

@reiver
Maybe they're the ones who need some easy, automated tool to push their content? It's not as if they bother to engage in a social media sense. But people will follow and boost it it's worthy.
