David Folkenflik / NPR: NPR quits Twitter after being falsely labeled as ‘state-affiliated media’
Kevin Collier / @kevincollier: You've probably heard this a million times, but it's still true. Twitter does not drive substantial traffic, and it never has, for any news publication I'm aware of. https://www.npr.org/...
Geoff Brumfiel / @gbrumfiel: NEW: NPR has decided it will no longer participate on Twitter due to inaccurate labelling of our main account. Twitter doesn't make or break anything we do as an organization, and so there's not much benefit for staying. Full statement from CEO John Lansing below. https://twitter.com/...

Amanda Silberling / TechCrunch: NPR leaves Twitter due to misleading ‘government-funded media’ label
Bobby Allyn / @bobbyallyn: NPR's analytics show that less than 2% of our traffic comes from Twitter. It's not a surprise to people who work in media, but even before the labeling saga, there was a pretty strong business case that the game wasn't worth the candle https://twitter.com/...

David Sirota / @davidsirota: This is a very corporate-media-centric view. It's true that giant conglomerates funded by governments, corporations & billionaires don't need such platforms because they have so much money. But — as much as I don't like this site — the end of Twitter will crush independent media. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: If @NPR has decided to stop posting “fresh content” to its 52 of official accounts on @Twitter, per @davidfolkenflik reports: https://www.npr.org/... then @JohnLansing should tweet why — not just RT a thread — share the story + statement from all 52 & clarify if they'll respond https://twitter.com/...

Jon Brodkin / Ars Technica: NPR says goodbye to Elon Musk's Twitter

Edmund Lee / @edmundlee: NPR signs off on Twitter by telling people where else to find them https://twitter.com/...
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D / @rvawonk: This makes NPR the first major news organization to leave Twitter, and should be seen as an ominous sign. Elon Musk has made it clear that he wants people to get their news directly from Twitter, not through legitimate news gathering orgs. And this is how he'll accomplish that. https://twitter.com/...
Philip Lewis / @phil_lewis_: NPR announces that its 52 accounts “will no longer be active on Twitter,” citing the social media platform's decision to label NPR “state-affiliated media” https://www.npr.org/...
Fred Wellman / @fpwellman: Great job, Elon. One thing advertisers love is major news organizations ditching your platform. https://twitter.com/...
Dr. Thrasher / @thrasherxy: It wasn't racism, transphobia, pay-to-pay, sacking of its employees, ending its safety precautions, ending verification, banning tech journos, or calling itself “Titter” that drove NPR off Twitter...it was [check notes] being called state-affiliated & govt funded (which it is)🤣😭 https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: In its 1st tweet since Musk's inaccurate label — now evolved to “government-funded media” — @NPR tweeted links to email, apps, & other social media accounts & stated it produces “independent, consequential journalism.” No @-mention of @johnlansing's statement or its own coverage. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Franklin / @campster: NPR is doing what we all wish we could. https://twitter.com/...
Clara Jeffery / @clarajeffery: This is true for the biggest companies. But Twitter has been a notable driver of traffic. More the point, it accelerates a story taking off and becoming part of the national dialog. Or did. https://twitter.com/...
Asma Khalid / @asmamk: NPR will no longer actively maintain its flagship Twitter (@NPR) or any other editorial accounts due to the inaccurate/misleading label on the NPR twitter handle. For good or for bad - I've long been a free spirit on this site, so, for now, you can still find me here twittering https://twitter.com/...
@deggans: NPR as an organization quit Twitter, thanks to the Chief Twit's capricious handling of labels on our main account. I'll still be active here. But this is a blow to journalists who built their brands and spread word about great work w/autonomy. DETAILS: https://www.npr.org/...

@travon: These people pay themselves tens of millions of dollars and make the dumbest decisions. You're dumping one of the most recognizable and prestigious names in the history of Media for the word “Max”. Brilliant. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Sheehan / @itsdansheehan: “Succession and Barry are ending but don't worry, we are no longer committed to making stuff that's good” https://twitter.com/...
Bilge Ebiri / @bilgeebiri: Media executives have taken so many management seminars, and yet nobody's bothered to explain basic human behavior to them. https://twitter.com/...
@drewmcweeny: That's meant as a positive quote. People explained this to me as a good thing all day yesterday. Marketing Executive Brain is winning. https://twitter.com/...
Sonny Bunch / @sonnybunch: It's so sad that they have one of the most storied and recognizable brands in all of entertainment—HBO, a three-letter stand in for “excellence”—and want to trash it because they think reality TV watchers are intimidated by it. https://twitter.com/...
Carl Kinsella / @tvscarlkinsella: “I know getting rid of the name HBO seems risky, since people associate the name with high quality programming, but the good news is that we're getting rid of that too.” https://twitter.com/...
Julian Clover / Broadband TV News: Warner Bros. Discovery streamer is called Max
Jeremy Konrad / Bleeding Cool: Max Pricing: Tiers Include $9.99, $14.99, & $19.99
@variety: Why did Warner Bros. Discovery decide to drop HBO from the HBO Max name? “HBO is not TV. HBO is HBO,” says CEO of global streaming and games JB Perrette. “It needs to stay that way.” https://variety.com/...
Gabrielle Sanchez / The A.V. Club: Warner Bros. Discovery officially unveils the combined streaming app, Max
Thomas K. Arnold / Media Play News: Max, Just Max: HBO Max-Discovery+ Mashup Details Announced
Ryan Schwartz / TVLine: Newly Combined HBO Max/Discovery+ Streaming Service to Be Called Max — Get Details on Pricing, Launch Date
@variety: The first two plans align with existing HBO Max pricing, and WBD said current HBO Max customers will not see their pricing change (for now) when the new service debuts. The third tier, “Max Ultimate,” expands to up to four streams and includes 4K content. https://variety.com/...
Nina Metz / @nina_metz: I like HBO as a brand. You like HBO as a brand. WBD is betting we'll keep watching (paying) regardless of what the app is called. They're focusing on all the other potential subscribers who apparently think HBO doesn't reflect their tastes. Hence: Max https://variety.com/...
Christina Warren / @film_girl: What is even dumber is that they aren't even killing Discovery+. You can still pay $6 a month for that. And all of its content isn't on Max. So they literally are just taking the one selling point out of the name of HBO Max. Like, HBO is the most valuable WBD asset, full stop!
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: Casey Bloys sounds faux exhausted listing all of HBO's recent hit prestige shows.
Christina Warren / @film_girl: Like, in a perfect world you'd have two apps, an HBO app and an app that has all the HBO content plus all the other shit. But if you can't do that, ruining what was actually a decent branding decision by downplaying your most important asset is just staggering in its stupidity.
Christina Warren / @film_girl: For all the terrible things AT&T did to Time Warner (Warner Media, whatever), at least it recognized that the most valuable asset was the HBO brand. Going all-in on the name HBO Max was not something I liked, but I like renaming it Max and cutting off your best brand even less
Katharine Trendacosta / @k_trendacosta: Max is not a streaming service. It's a dog. It's a type of Pepsi. It's a string of crashing Boeing planes.
@deggans: Hollywood Reporter sez Warner Bros Discovery announced its new streaming service combining HBO Max and Discovery+ will be called Max, debuting May 23. Critics always thought AT&T might kill the HBO brand, but looks like WBD might actually get it done. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ ...
Phillip / @majorphilebrity: HBO. H-B-O. The network known for The Sopranos, Game Of Thrones, VEEP, Entourage, The Comeback, Girls, The Wire, True Blood and OZ is taking the HBO out of its name to merge with..... *checks notes* Discovery? 10/10.

Lucas Shaw / @lucas_shaw: WBD CEO David Zaslav is on stage to announce his new streaming service. “This is a real moment for us... this is our time.”
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: David Zaslav confirms WBD super-streamer will be called “MAX.” He sells it as a streamer “every member of the household” can go to for content. “It's the one to watch because we have so many of the world's iconic and globally recognized franchised. It's our superpower.” https://twitter.com/...
