Why replace press releases and web pages with a social microblog? "Official communication" sounds like something better handled in long-form reports than short

Why replace press releases and web pages with a social microblog? "Official communication" sounds like something better handled in long-form reports than short notes jotted out into a social maelstrom of hot takes. Perhaps the next step might instead be to get government off social media altogether.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoYes I totally agree with that, but this is already an improvement over a non-official communication channel.
- piva00 4y agoOne is a pull-based system (official press releases, web pages), the other is a push-based announcement system. They can communicate the same messages but delivery is quite different.
- rsynnott 4y agoGovernments, in practice, tend to use Twitter as a sort of low latency press release system; the target audience is really journalists, and the tweets tend to link to longer-form things. Mastodon will do fine for that.
