Fun thing about this is NPR and PBS will very soon have very solid data on how that affects their readership and visits and clicks and all. This is going to be very entertaining, I expect.
And more media outlets will soon follow.
It’s time to revive that NPR mastodon account! https://mstdn.social/@NPR
Uh!? If that’s the case there’s an issue with mastodon’s verified thingy.

for future reference, you can check if a Mastodon profile is verified by if one of the links in the profile shows up green with a checkmark. an official NPR Mastodon account would have a link to npr.org at the top that would be green (instead of purple) with a green checkmark next to it.
