> ...to the extent that twitter is influential, it's a topic that should be covered. This is circular reasoning. It's only influential because journalists cover it. And they only cover it because "it's influential". Journalists don't cover Social Media. They cover Twitter. They ignore Reddit, Imgur, Tumblr, etc. Those are all social media with approximately the same user base as Twitter (Reddit probably has more). But totally ignored by print journos.
