What specifically do you take issue with? Sure, I have used some independent journalists (a few are on location in Ukraine) but the majority of what I do post comes from either someone who works at a company which is generally considered a reputable news publication or straight up links to those sites via the Tweet. I'll take the last page as an example, so we start with a video of Zelenskyy talking to demonstrators, can disregard that, doesn't need a reputable site, we can see it for ourselves, then we go down the list and I have... WSJ, Business Insider, a translation of something which comes directly from Ukraine's Armed Forces, Gordon who is a journalist for BBC, a BBC News article, a Reuters article, Hugo who works for I News, Mediazona which is a Russian news site, a journalist for Bloomberg, a Financial Times article, Olga who is an independent journalist but just posting a video anyway so meh, Cliff who works for NY Times, someone just translating what Zelenskyy said, Nolan who has been a war reporter in Ukraine since 2014, Gavin who is California's Governor, Julie who works for NBC News, a Hollywood Reporter article, Ben who works for NBC News, Mark who works for Bloomberg, etc. I do use some independent journalists but as I said above, a few of them are on location in Ukraine and seem fairly reputable thus far, I've tossed out most of those who haven't been, I usually often check a Tweeter's bio too to see who they work for, their verification, how many followers they have, etc. Which aren't all accurate measures of reliability but I don't believe it has let me down too much so far. I'll go another page back and we have Jack who works for Foreign Policy, Phil who works for Reuters, Dave who is just sourcing Bloomberg, Felix who works for MoscowTimes but the photo comes from Ukraine's parliament, Foreign Policy Jack again, someone sourcing Reuters, Walter Bloomberg who I believe is essentially an RSS feed for Bloomberg, The Washington Post, an independent journalist, Reuters Phil again, UK Government, WSJ reporter. |
I fricken hate twitter, maybe because I am getting old and don't like the layout of it lol, however I greatly appreciate you posting good summaries and updates from it to this site which for me is easier to follow and read.
At the end of the day Ii am sure some tweets/or even articles on reputable sites will have some misinformation, but that will be more from young interns just copying someone without checking the source and not a malicious intent to try and deceive.
