Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@s_m_i @julesterpak Totally! that’s a good point and I think if more stories were written in a way that took tiktok seriously then the tweet embeds prob wouldn’t seem so glaring. But yeah, embeds are never as easy as they seem in a lot of CMS’s as u said 😅 and product ppl never get enough credit — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@s_m_i @julesterpak (and goes without saying there are many amazing tech and digital culture reporters out there who cover “online culture” TikTok etc seriously and very well!) 💓 I definitely agree w/ Jules that the app’s influence is understated in traditional press as a whole tho — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@s_m_i Oh for sure, and def for local news sites. But tweet embeds are just an example @julesterpak is using to emphasize the larger problem which is many reporters/media outlets ignoring/dismissing TikToks influence. That was her point as I understood it at least 😅 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@s_m_i What major news outlet doesn’t have the ability to embed TikToks in the year 2022 it’s a simple embed code? — PolitiTweet.org

@evan_greer Oh yes indeed, Wes Lowery has talked a lot about this too. Way too many journalists think reporting is stenography — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

We are in such a fundamentally broken information ecosystem right now & the majority of the media is asleep at the wheel. They’re so unprepared for the tidal wave that’s about to hit them. They really believe cable news is what’s relevant in media like it’s the 1990s or something — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Bad faith actors/far right extremists log onto the internet every day and lie, media reporters/cable news ppl repeat & amplify those blatant lies w/ zero context (never bothering to do actual journalism), and millions of ppl who don’t know any better gobble up those lies as fact — PolitiTweet.org

@AuraLeeHarvey Haha trust me, a massively influential app w/ billions of users backed by a powerful multi billion dollar Chinese tech conglomerate doesn't need my tweet to bolster it! 😅 But I totally hear u and get what you're saying. I hope u have a chill and more relaxing rest of ur day <3 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@AuraLeeHarvey I hear ya, but just want to note that I'm not "advocating" for TikTok, I am (as I always have) advocated for fellow journalists to take the platform and the culture emerging from it seriously and stop dismissing and ignoring it. — PolitiTweet.org

@9Number9 oh yeah for sure, that's an important distinction. I just think most ppl in the media don't even recognize the significance and actively dismiss and minimize its impact — PolitiTweet.org

"There's such a disconnect between legacy media and new media... Reporters don't want to admit how much TikTok runs culture and not only that, I genuinely think they don't know. So many legacy media reporters refuse to get on TikTok and they're just seeing things late on Twitter" — PolitiTweet.org
