Politico shares the same opinion.
The New York Times has been stripped of its Twitter tick.
According to Twitter’s new policy, these checkmarks are now only offered with paid subscriptions. Organizations must shell out $1,000 per month to earn gold ticks, while individuals can earn blue ticks for a starting price of $7 in the United States.
“We also will not refund reporters for Twitter Blue for personal accounts, except in the rare event that this status is necessary for reporting purposes,” a spokesman for The New York Times added.
According to a memo sent to employees seen by Reuters, Politico will also not offer to compensate employees for their Twitter following.
