It was the social media of choice for journalists. It was an excellent place to get your news as long as you followed the right people (reputable, credible professionals).
Now many of those right people have left and they're far more difficult to distinguish from the wrong people.
Agreed. I didn't use Twitter, but friends followed NPR correspondents for information and, while it didn't replace the news, it enhanced it for them.
