"So, I’m on Mastodon and I haven’t tried Post yet, I think because I tried Mastodon first and I just found it sort of boring. And I think one of the reasons that Twitter, as we talked about earlier, has become this important platform was because it’s not just journalists and politicians. I mean that’s one of the reasons, but there’s also a lot of cultural and social commentary celebrities and it sort of brings everyone together in this space."

The influence of Twitter on journalism and politics - Niskanen Center

The role of Twitter on the left and right, the implication of Musk’s policy changes, and the reasons we all have such a love/hate relationship with the platform.

🙏 If we decided to create a list of #journalism academic researchers, who should we include? We are already gathering a few names. But we are aiming for a more diverse bunch and we'd love to hear from you and your followers. Please help us spread the word ♻️ #commodon #journalismresearch

👋 Hi! #introductions are fun, so here's mine: I'm Shannon. I study #politicalcommunication in the context of identity, democracy, journalism, and public opinion. In my research, I marry critical and normative perspectives with social scientific methods.

📣 I'm snarky, love food, and am "too big for France." If you stick around, I'll tell you why it's extremism not polarization we should worry about, and how very little is about information -- it's about identity.

Hey y'all @shannimcg is here! Party has started!
