None of that is particularly surprising or alarming if you consider Twitter to be a networking tool, though. It seems like that's exactly what it is for many, including people in tech. You talk to people in your industry, exchange advice, possibly even look for a job. The assumption in the study is that journalists are also using Twitter as a source for their journalism but that isn't really substantiated anywhere. Yes, there's plenty of clickbait crap that recycles whatever the latest X is on social media, but in terms of actual original reporting? I'm not so convinced.
