S1 Ep5: Has Twitter Ruined Journalism?

Recorded 28th October 2022
As Elon Musk became the owner of Twitter at the time of recording, this episode of Hacks and Flaks seemed like the perfect opportunity for the panel to discuss the phenomenon of social media journalism and its impact on traditional news gathering.
What do flaks do when someone in government is embroiled in a Twitter storm, and when have Andrew and Giles had to put out a fire caused by one of their charges?
Is it even worth our MPs' time to be on social media when the risk of being cancelled or creating negative news stories is so great?
And with more journalists expressing their political opinions on Twitter and Instagram, Petrie asks hack Michael, what this means for impartiality and if journalists are now just trawling social media for the next story.
Our team also discuss the death of the tabloid gossip column and how Trump's online rants fed into the news cycle.
