News organizations say they won't pay for Elon Musk's Twitter Blue because 'verified checkmarks no longer represent authority and expertise'
The Washington Post said it"will not pay for Twitter Blue service as an institution or on behalf of our journalists" because"it's evident that verified checkmarks no longer represent authority and expertise," per "We aren't planning to pay the monthly fee for check mark status for our institutional Twitter accounts," a New York Times spokesperson similarly told Insider.
"We will not be paying to verify our organization on Twitter either," Yasin continued."It's still unclear if there's actual value in doing so, beyond identifying all of us as LA Times staffers." A BBC spokesperson told Insider it had"issued updated guidance to staff relating to Twitter's new verification process, and will continue to monitor the changes."
