David Pierce / Protocol: Twitter's future is newsletters and podcasts, not tweets
Christina Warren / @film_girl: I haven't even used my Substack beyond squatting on the https://christina.substack.com/ domain for like 4+ years and have subs b/c of the Twitter acquisition. The Revue acquisition is very interesting. https://twitter.com/...
Emily Bell / @emilybell: Broadcast => pay https://twitter.com/...

Benedict Evans / @benedictevans: Step 1: “Substack is a paywall for twitter”. Step 2: Twitter buys a newsletter company https://blog.twitter.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: Re: Twitter and newsletters, subscriptions, etc. it's worth noting — as Ben Thompson does here: https://stratechery.com/... — that Twitter has had lots of other great opportunities, and somehow always manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
@jarroddicker: In it's mission to democratize newsletters, Substack has since managed to carve itself out as an elite class with Twitter & Revue promising to develop a platform for all; democratizing writers. https://twitter.com/...
@ibjiyongi: I really hope @SubstackInc sticks it out and remains independent. Consolidation of platforms sucks. https://twitter.com/...
Nick Summers / Engadget: Twitter jumps into newsletters with Revue acquisition
Jim Roberts / @nycjim: Big. But how many of Twitter's acquisitions have died on the vine, so to speak? https://twitter.com/...
@rafat: Twitter buys Substack competitor @revue, lowers cut to 5%, make Pro features free & built in distribution everyone was asking SS for. Such smart, predatory-ish move. P.S.: newsletter services will become generic, low margin, so much for SS valuations. https://blog.twitter.com/...
Modest Proposal / @modestproposal1: can think of no incumbent tech co historically less scary to enter your space than twitter. but can also think of few products as natural to introduce on top of a platform as newsletters on top of twitter. cutting the fee in half and building customer acq tools will also help. https://twitter.com/...
Steven Perlberg / @perlberg: oh look, Twitter is betting that it's easier to leverage your Twitter following for your newsletter through Twitter than through Substack https://www.axios.com/...
Andréa López / @bluechoochoo: (Not technically Twitter's first step into long-form, it earlier bought and shut down a post-Tumblr blogging platform, Posterous, that had followers and a feed.) https://twitter.com/...
Jack Marshall / @jackmarshall: shall we skip straight to the hand wringing about why creators shouldn't trust platforms, why they should “own” their audiences, gripes about algorithms, etc etc. https://twitter.com/...
Justin Hendrix / @justinhendrix: Twitter announces acquisition of @revue and that it will undercut @SubstackInc by 5% on revenue cut for paid newsletters. https://blog.twitter.com/...
Martin Sfp Bryant / @martinsfp: “Twitter says writers can expect some sort of paid compensation based on how many Twitter users they convert to subscribers.” https://www.axios.com/...
Kim Fox / @kimfox: This is an interesting move, particularly because it adds a new revenue stream that could become quite meaningful, and it has the ad infrastructure and network to support it. https://twitter.com/...
@ivanthek: Twitter is diversifying into long-form content, even when their short-form content product still needs a lot of work. $TWTR https://twitter.com/...
@niemanlab: New jobs openings TK (potentially): “Twitter says it hopes to expand the Revue team. Over time, that team will be responsible for building out more ‘discovery, reading, and conversational experiences’ centered around long-form content on Twitter.” https://www.axios.com/...
Ouriel Ohayon / @ourielohayon: Alternative version: Substack was too expensive to buy (like Clubhouse) https://twitter.com/...
Mike / @nongaap: Substack will need to get competitive with that 5% commission at some point Definitely some interesting distribution levers Twitter can integrate in order to promote the Revue platform and content Can see content creators switching to Revue for that https://www.axios.com/...

Idaho Statesman Editor Christina Lords confirms she was fired for violating McClatchy's social media policy and doesn't regret her tweet advocating for staff — Before she was appointed the top editor at the Idaho Statesman, Christina Lords was known for going to bat for her staff.
Discussion:
@idahonewsguild: 🧵 Today, the journalists of the Idaho News Guild sent a letter to @mcclatchy management to formally protest the abrupt and inappropriate firing of editor Christina Lords. https://twitter.com/...
Julie K. Brown / @jkbjournalist: “Without a newsroom address to receive and distribute personal protective equipment, Lords recently drove around Boise, hand-delivering N95 masks to the paper's staff.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Tess / @tess_townsend: How are major media organizations so bad at optics? Seriously, what is the payoff for a firing like this? Aside from just being wrong, it's obvious fodder for bad press. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Lilly Ana Fowler / @lillyafowler: Managers who go to bat for employees & aren't afraid to speak up on their behalf are rare. News orgs should value them rather than, as often happens, punish them, leaving behind a trail of “leaders” too scared to act. Hire @ChristinaLords ✊🏻@IdahoNewsGuild https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Dan Nguyen / @dancow: I know newsrooms are forced to make horrendous and difficult cuts. But cutting Excel to save money/eke out extra efficiency is about as counterproductive as it gets...almost as ass-backwards as firing an editor frustrated about it https://twitter.com/...
Dan Nguyen / @dancow: The corporate reluctance against reporters installing their own software (e.g. LibreOffice) makes sense...But yeah, that's why you buy Excel and save on bespoke IT training - nevermind hours wasted by reporters googling for how to hack Google Sheets to do what's easy in Excel https://twitter.com/...
Audrey Dutton / @audreydutton: @dancow Lords has been so supportive of her staff. We couldn't have done the past year without her. She also has been supportive of McClatchy and its goal of increasing digital subscriptions (and we've been super successful at that!) which made this even more shocking.
Kerry Flynn / @kerrymflynn: “We always knew she had our back. We always knew she was going to fight for us if we needed anything. When that's what gets her fired, it's a pretty chilling message to send to your employees.” - @michaellycklama https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Dan Nguyen / @dancow: @audreydutton Even in the golden days of newspapers, an editor this dedicated to her staff and community was a rare treasure. Dumping her because she tweeted how her investigative reporter needs Excel is...certainly a modern media industry decision🤯 https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

Zeb Palmer / @zebpalmer: Hey look @mcclatchy even wapo noticed... Along with excel for reporters, you should procure different leadership, HR & PR people.

Kate Talerico / @k_talerico: Christina always encouraged me to apply for journalism grants, take on big stories + is vocal about her love for the Statesman's staff.

Melissa Santos / @melissasantos1: Every reporter needs Excel on their computer — I use it constantly even when covering politics. An investigative reporter should have even more advanced tools.

Riley Bunch / @ribunchreports: When I was in between jobs in Idaho, @ChristinaLords took time to have coffee with me and brainstorm story ideas I could freelance for the @IdahoStatesman.

Erik Wemple / Washington Post:
NYT will never be able to uniformly enforce its social media behavior policy and should remove the language of journalists being “perceived as biased” from it — Lauren Wolfe made no ripples last May when she started as a freelance editor at the New York Times.

Megan McArdle / @asymmetricinfo: But I think major institutions should also strive for viewpoint neutrality by telling everyone to get off Twitter, rather than taking on the impossible job of “retroactive social media editor” where people are disciplined or fired after the fact for crossing a dim and wavy line.

Parker Molloy / Media Matters for America: Right-wing media helped usher in the age of “cancel culture,” but now pretend it's an invention of the left
Lauren Wolfe / @wolfe321: Hi all. I truly appreciate everyone's support but I need to ask you a favor: PLEASE don't unsubscribe from @nytimes. I have loved this paper and its mission my whole life. Their journalism is some of the most important & best in the world, & they need to be read widely. Thank you
Jerry Dunleavy / @jerrydunleavy: I don't think we knew about this specific element of the saga. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Miriam Elder / @miriamelder: @joepompeo “According to someone with knowledge of the phone call in which Wolfe was let go, she was told that her name and the Times' name were in headlines all over the place, and 'we can't have that.'” https://www.vanityfair.com/...
Megan McArdle / @asymmetricinfo: ... which is why the Times, like other major newsrooms, should tell their employees to get off Twitter entirely: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
@kendrawrites: Doesn't talk about 1. who gets in trouble for tweets is directly correlated with who you are and who you made uncomfortable. Factual tweets at NYT can be considered “political.” 2. The right wing media campaign that went after Lauren over the tweet in the first place https://twitter.com/...
Heidi N. Moore / @moorehn: One really great reason to not work at the New York Times under Dean Baquet is that he is consistently throwing his staff under the bus. https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Yglesias / @mattyglesias: So the problem here is that when you try to squeeze what your people are allowed to say and do on Twitter, they may decide they want to go work somewhere else (or start a Substack). https://twitter.com/...
Josh Barro / @jbarro: Why would this be impossible for the Times? The Wall Street Journal seems to manage. https://twitter.com/...
Timothy B. Lee / @binarybits: This would shift the balance of power from journalists to their employers. So yes it would be good for the employers if they could make it stick. But I doubt they have the leverage to do it. I'd look for a new job if my employer told me I had to stop tweeting. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Stroehlein / @astroehlein: The NY Times fired @Wolfe321 for this tweet? That's it? Expressing some sense of relief that a violent attempt to overthrow the democratic process failed and that a normal transfer of power was happening after all... That's a fireable offense now? https://www.theguardian.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Dan Kennedy / Media Nation: Lauren Wolfe, The New York Times and the never-ending dilemma over social media
Wesley / @wesleylowery: This account, if true, speaks to the issue here. Being told a prior tweet is “borderline” - in an HR sense - is not a “warning” - meaning functionally the non-renewal/removal was due to the chills tweet (more innocuous than many posted by many staffers) https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
David Klion / @davidklion: Is anyone at NYT going to publicly defend this firing? In addition to unjustly terminating Wolfe in the middle of a pandemic, they've put their entire staff at risk of similar bad faith campaigns by rewarding this one. https://twitter.com/...
Bleeding Heartland / @laurarbelin: Weak for @nytimes to claim “we didn't end someone's employment over a single tweet.” When you fire someone right after Glenn Greenwald & many others attacked her tweet, everyone will assume that's why she was fired. The paper has incentivized bad-faith attacks on other staff. https://twitter.com/...
Foster Kamer / @weareyourfek: One more thing on Lauren Wolfe: Last year, Don McNeil, one of the finest reporters in all the land — and the NYT's king Covid correspondent — called Pence a sycophant and said the director of the CDC should resign. McNeil (who, of course, was right) got a slap on the wrist.
Wajahat Ali / @wajahatali: All l'll say is Rukmini Callimachi, Bret Stephens and Glenn Thrush still have jobs at the NYT and that tells you everything you need to know about the industry. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@themarysue: Meanwhile, men accused of sexual misconduct continue to be employed. https://www.themarysue.com/...
Avi Asher-Schapiro / @aaschapiro: “Many of Wolfe's defenders noted that the Times did not fire reporter Glenn Thrush after multiple women accused him of sexually inappropriate behavior..Dean Baquet said the journalist had ‘behaved in ways that we do not condone,’ but Thrush kept his job.” https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Seth Abramson / @sethabramson: WP: “'We [the NYT] didn't end someone's employment over a single tweet.' The newspaper also clarified that Wolfe was not a full-time employee and did not have a contract with the publication, contrary to widespread reports, and instead worked on a more informal freelance basis.” https://twitter.com/...
Felicia Sonmez / @feliciasonmez: NYT should not have fired Lauren @Wolfe321, especially when other journos at the paper have done far worse recently and kept their jobs. Knee-jerk firings in response to online harassment campaigns only further embolden harassers — and put ALL journalists at risk. https://twitter.com/...
Joe Pompeo / @joepompeo: NYT statement on the chills tweet: “There's a lot of inaccurate information circulating on Twitter. For privacy reasons we don't get into the details of personnel matters but we can say that we didn't end someone's employment over a single tweet..We don't plan to comment further”
David Edwards / Raw Story: ‘Unfairly vilified’: Glenn Greenwald cries ‘censorship’ after getting NYT reporter ‘fired’ for Biden tweet
Barbara Malmet / @b52malmet: As one Times journalist put it, “You'd think under all this added scrutiny, the company would be more transparent about how they go about these things. A lot of people inside were scratching their heads about how they handled this one.” https://www.vanityfair.com/...
Matthew Chapman / @fawfulfan: Speaking as a reporter who has seen first hand the struggle of newsrooms to remain profitable in the Internet age, I reject this premise. The NYT does do great work, but it's not a charity, it's a business. And it's on businesses to behave in a way that maintains consumer trust. https://twitter.com/...
Alan Rusbridger / @arusbridger: Whatever the complete truth of the apparent firing of @Wolfe321 by @nytimes this is a classy response ... https://twitter.com/...
Meredith Salenger / @meredthsalenger: I won't unsubscribe. However, they need to reinstate you in your job. This was a travesty that needs to be remedied. So, @nytimes get it together and rehire @Wolfe321. She clearly is a class act and didn't throw you under the bus the way you did her. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Froomkin / @froomkin: OK but how about if we demand that the chain of command that fired you be publicly identified and reassigned/demoted/fired? And if they refuse, we create a pool of free gift subscriptions for those who don't want to pay their salaries anymore? https://twitter.com/...
Mike Loukides / @mikeloukides: It's been a problem with the NYT for a long time. Afraid of being called “eastern liberal media elite.” So they play the “report the controversy” game. https://twitter.com/...
Miriam Elder / @miriamelder: .@joepompeo has new details on the Times vs Lauren Wolfe https://www.vanityfair.com/...
Mark Halperin / @markhalperin: “Single” is not the same as “two.” https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: “Major news outlets like the Times are relieved to no longer have a president who constantly calls them ‘fake news’ and ‘the enemy of the people,’ but they also don't want to be seen as overly friendly to the norm-abiding Biden administration.” https://www.vanityfair.com/...

Meghan McCain / @meghanmccain: ONE conservative guest edits ONE newsletter and all hell breaks loose @politico?! What a bunch of absolute baby snowflakes, my god. I am SO sick of this type of thing. GROW UP, this is an industry full of different people and perspectives and @benshapiro is a powerhouse. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Shapiro / @benshapiro: Once again, my point in Politico: conservatives feel that media attacks on anyone right of center are nearly always designed as a broader attack on conservatives writ large. Politico staffers just keep proving my point, over and over again. https://twitter.com/...
Drew Holden / @drewholden360: It takes a journalistic culture both remarkably decadent and fundamentally broken to be capable of this much outrage over a conservative guest writer in a world filled with circumstances infinitely more deserving of anger and attention. https://twitter.com/...
Meghan McCain / @meghanmccain: Also I don't understand how people in this industry, who literally exist and make our livelihoods off of free speech are the first people triggered by it and who want to suppress it the most.

Branko Marcetic / @bmarchetich: Shapiro is a nasty little bigot, of course, but more constructive would be if staffers pushed to expand the range of voices platformed.
