“I’ve watched how they use Twitter’s technology. Twitter’s superpower is conversation; it’s carrying the chatter. So traditionally, journalists write a few characters and tweet a link to their article and that’s it. But ProPublica threads the key parts of an article, so you end up with a thread that’s 10 tweets long. We asked them why they do that and they said, ‘We’re going to meet people where they are. They’re coming to a service that is focused on brevity, so we need to translate our stories into that format.'” —
