“There are people that are very fragile, very vulnerable, that are living amongst us. We should care about them as much as we care about members of our family and about ourselves." https://t.co/Y1Hew8bhsj — PolitiTweet.org

Lunn is one of the thousands of medically vulnerable ppl still dying of covid in the US and Canada, significant numbers of which are fully vaxxed and boosted. Please remember that what feels like a short bug to you is deadly to someone more vulnerable https://t.co/Y1Hew8bhsj — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Lunn, an immunocompromised man, spoke out against lifting pandemic restrictions to protect the vulnerable. Restrictions were lifted. He died after contracting COVID-19. https://t.co/Y1Hew8bhsj — PolitiTweet.org

@nbashaw Also love u and value ur thoughts! I know u think a lot about media and new models of media. Legacy media is deeply broken and horrible in many ways, but the influencer model has pitfalls too so was just trying to point that out 🙏🏻. Stay safe out there — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nbashaw If you wanted to make ur analogy work it would be like converting the entire WaPo website to Staud dot com e commerce store as soon as the storm ends. I interviewed tons of creators abt this btw for this piece as well and they talk pretty candidly https://t.co/lwJ3pe3dgs — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nbashaw Yikes, that’s def not it Nathan. WaPo (and any similar traditional publisher) use the attention from covering big events to convert subscriptions (and some ads, but less and less so) and use that money *to boost our reporting and newsroom resources in order to cover more news — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nbashaw Ohh yes! Totally agree on them both serving that same need (and more and more ppl meeting that need through influencer content!) — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nbashaw Also I realize was like “I can’t get into this!” then posted 4 more tweets lol 🥴 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nbashaw Like if ur ripping hurricane footage to get to 100k to flip the acct to boost ur dropshipping empire that’s very diff than how WaPo for instance would use it. I totally agree with u tho that ppl want real-time breaking news footage and coverage & get that from the social internet — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nbashaw Wish we could have a longer debate abt this, but big news events are “opportunities” for traditional publishers to build audience *to cover more news* whereas influencers/social media users are seeking to build audiences for radically different reasons https://t.co/Haa3OSNByH — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@nbashaw It’s not the same incentives though. I don’t have time for another talk on this on Twitter but there’s a huge difference between the two, it’s a mistake to think this is how traditional media operates (im no defender of traditional media but influencer media is radically diff) — PolitiTweet.org

TikTok is undeniably the place for real time news content. So many hurricane livestreams happening (and inevitably people ripping other people’s hurricane livestreams and pretending they’re real for $) https://t.co/r4KzHABvaJ — PolitiTweet.org
