It’s a very short article that is essentially restating a tweet but in paragraphs instead of bullet points. That tweet simply has a picture of something that looks like it might be an article published in a journal, or something?
If you actually want to see the source, you have to read the words on the picture in the tweet and search for them. That will eventually lead you to this working paper.
I’m not saying that the article didn’t summarize the tweet properly, or that the tweet didn’t summarize the working paper well. But, surely we can do better than articles which summarize tweets.
At least they’re summarising it, which implies that they’ve done some work. Lots of UK online ‘newspapers’ now have a brief story with a load of quoted tweets at the end. They’re absolute shit.
They’re not really summarizing it. Summarizing means to express something in a more concise form. The original was a tweet, so if anything they un-summarized the bullet points in the tweet.
But, I know the “newspaper articles” you mean, and they are much worse. They seem to specialize in talking around the content of the tweets, and the reaction to the tweets, and the reactions to those reactions. But, if you want to actually know the actual content of the original tweet you have to keep scrolling and scrolling as you pass ad after ad (hopefully you’re blocking the ads so you just get blank space after blank space). Those are so frustrating when all you want to know is what the actual tweet said.
Wow, this is an awful submission.
