Top Journalists Skeptical of Twitter

Journalists are growing more skeptical of the benefits of using Twitter, Axios reported Monday.

The New York Times' Maggie Haberman posted that the social media platform was "not really helping the discourse."

With exception of breaking news and my own stories, taking a break from this platform. No reason or prompt other than that it’s not really helping the discourse.

And Axios' Jim VandeHei said the move away from Twitter was "good advice for all reporters."

Good advice for all reporters...The Twitter bubble is getting worse, not better, distorting clear-thinking...

Axios news editor Justin Green also weighed in:

maybe we were always this dumb and twitter just exposes it instead of creating it
