Why Twitter? For every other platform, journalism is dispensable. Twitter is *the only* large platform whose core success is intertwined with a sustainable journalism ecosystem.

Twitter exists to serve the public conversation. Journalism is the mitochondria of that conversation. At its best it helps us stand in one another’s shoes and understand each other’s common humanity.

The mission we’ve been given by
@Twitter is simple: take Scroll and scale it so that everyone who uses Twitter can experience an internet without friction and frustration. A gathering of people who love the news *and* pay to support it.Show this thread -
We have a lot of work to do, but it is in service of a grand conversation that is vital. My heartfelt thanks go out to all those who believed in us from the very beginning and to those who have joined us along the way.
