The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will only use X (formerly Twitter) to provide updates on recent plane crashes in Washington, DC, and Philadelphia. The agency stated it will utilize its @NTSB_Newsroom account for news conferences and investigative information, directing all other inquiries to [email protected]. Meanwhile, the US Department of Defense (DoD) is implementing a media rotation program that will replace prominent news outlets with conservative-leaning ones at the Pentagon.
The National Transportation and Safety Board will only update the press about the plane crashes in Washington, DC and Philadelphia on X — not over email, as reported earlier by The Desk. The agency announced on Saturday that it will use its @NTSB_Newsroom account to share ”news conferences or other investigative information.“ The NTSB later said, “Reporters should email mediarelations@ntsb.
We cannot respond to every email asking for the details of media briefings,” the NTSB said, without explaining the process behind the decision or why an agency would rely solely on one privately owned social media platform. At the same time, the US Department of Defense is also removing major outlets, like NBC News, The New York Times, NPR, and Politico, from their dedicated workstations in the Pentagon, according to a report from NBC.
