This is exactly backwards and a concept of traditional media snobs (not to mention moral hazard of recommending media that gets you paid). People need to pay more attention to making twitter etc work for them despite the FUD rather than retreat in the face of it.

Retreat to books and “real” news and you retreat to exactly where you’re rendered an NPC. Sure only a small minority are active in twitter etc, but the disproportionately move sentiment and drive the news cycle. Going to Twitter is like going to primary sources.

And note that “respectable” media is increasingly just delayed and cleaned up clickbait and outrage. NYT is worst offender but I bet Miami Herald is no exception. Books too, now pander to social media. In fact 90% of new books published could be twitter threads of 1% length.
