@tszzl @TrevMcKendrick It’s a service *to the users* to have confirmation (through a blue check or otherwise) that the person they’re RTing or getting news from is who they say they are. Otherwise they fall for fakes and see twitter as less reliable. — PolitiTweet.org

@tszzl @TrevMcKendrick The thing is it doesn’t really affect journalists themselves, just makes it a more confusing ecosystem for users. For ex, in wake of the Boston bombing ppl were tweeting out tons of unverified info and pretending to be journalists, users got confused who was who & spread misinfo — PolitiTweet.org

@tszzl @TrevMcKendrick There are undeniably some reporters who care abt a blue check or feel like they get status from it, but the vast majority do not. Twitter is just a place for media ppl to talk to each other and share info, we hardly even get a sliver of traffic from tweeting our stories lol — PolitiTweet.org
