They did extension research into the Twitter accounts held by journalists, news organizations, and consumers. Using the data from the accounts they were able to use Welch and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests to show statistical differences in eight comparisons across two regions, Arab world and European world. They found that journalists use a direct form of communication design to engage their audience and use twitter as a source of information. On the other hand, news outlets use a professional style in their tweets and are more likely to use links in their post. They also they found that Arab journalist are more distinguishable from news consumers than English ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reflection:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Quote: \u201cJournalists\nand organizations also differ in the medium used to publish their tweets. In\nfact, while they both use a desktop in about 30% of the time, mobile is the\npreferred medium for journalists (54.95%), and organizations tend to use\nspecial Twitter applications for posting more than 28% of the tweets\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Honestly, this makes totally sense to me because\nI think that most of the Journalists in this\nstudy are younger Journalists who would be more incline to be on their phone\nall the time. I know that my generation is always on our phones and it would\nmake sense that Journalists who are in my generation or the one before would\nalso be on their phones all the time. I would love to see an age breakdown of\nthe journalists in this study.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Overall, I didn\u2019t find the results of the\nstudy suspiring because Bagdouri\u2019s results says that news organizations are less likely to retweet posts or engage\nwith users. This makes sense because when the news organizations accounts post they are posting for the\nwhole company and thus can\u2019t risk endorsing a tweet that would bring the hate\nfrom their twitter community. Whereas, a journalist is only speaking for\nthemselves so they can post more of what they believe in. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Questions<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How does the \u201cfake news\u201d change the\nway we view tweets from journalists and news organizations?<\/li><li>How does journalists or news\norganizations political leaning affect how the public looks and engages with\nthe tweets?<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalists and Twitter: A Multidimensional Quantitative Description of Usage Patterns Summary: This is a paper that talk about their study on twitter in the news.
