As a political journalist there are such immensely interesting (& terrifying!) stories out there, from the interface of technology & politics, to climate change, an epochal social upheaval & rise of China.
This is all more important, & interesting, than whining about Twitter.

Does anyone really think it adds value to their audience to constantly whine about people they don’t like? Does anyone think people will want to pay for that?
I don’t agree with them on much but you have to appreciate quality press that doesn’t do this like the Economist & FT.

For me this explains the success of Monocle magazine since 2008. It’s overpriced and the articles often aren’t anything special but you read it and see people doing interesting things all across the world. You put it down feeling refreshed and optimistic.
Compare this to what is the default for quite a few people in politics and media who seem to increasingly focus on their own use of social media as something of huge importance. It isn’t. As a journalist you are a conduit for things that effect millions. This is also interesting.
