CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline reports:

NPR said that it has stopped tweeting from its main Twitter account after the platform labeled the news organization “state-affiliated media.”

A spokesperson said that the outlet stopped posting from @NPR “after they attached that false label to it because each tweet we publish would carry it. We have paused tweeting from that account until we hear back from Twitter on this. We’ve continued tweeting from our other accounts that aren’t mislabeled.”

NPR also changed its Twitter bio to read, “NPR is an independent news organization committed to informing the public about the world around us. You can find us every other place you read the news.”
