> I suppose journalists may still believe that have high status
It's how that "high status" is quantified. A journalist might look at their twitter profile, see the blue checkmark, see their 50k followers, and see their inbox filled with the ire of those on the other side, and conclude they are "high status".
Problem becomes, what is "high status" for one person is just "wasting time on twitter" to another person.
