American Public Media Group has also announced that they are suspending the use of Twitter in an e-mail to current/previous donors
"After much discussion, we concluded that continued use of the social media platform Twitter by our organization was contrary to our mission and core values. Instead of being a neutral and efficient channel for serving the public, Twitter is now actively aiming to undermine the integrity of public media organizations like ours.
All of American Public Media Group’s channels will cease to post and engage on the Twitter platform at this time. The decision will be effective immediately, but we expect winding down use of the platform will take several weeks, primarily due to some of our contractual obligations.
The decision to leave Twitter was neither simple nor easy. It was instead the product of much discussion. In deciding to label public media organizations as “state affiliated,” then “government funded,” then “publicly funded” over a week period, Twitter inaccurately describes what public media is and does. That inaccuracy undermines the value of what our employees do for people and their families: providing accurate, unbiased journalism and information about our country and the world."
