Elon Musk’s ownership of Twitter has inspired news headlines once unimaginable (see New York Magazine's "Elon Musk is Selling Off Twitter’s Cafeteria and Furniture"). It has also created serious problems for journalists who rely on the platform for developing sources, finding stories, and driving readership. It’s not safe to do journalistic business on the platform anymore, Emily Bell, founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism told Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review, in this week’s episode of the Kicker. Together, Pope and Bell discuss how journalists should (or shouldn’t) cope with Musk’s Twitter, which Bell calls “an unstable substance,” and what might be lost if Twitter were to disintegrate completely.
