This was reported by Variety, as reported by Ukrinform.

The platform no longer displays headlines of news articles that users share in the social network’s feed. Instead, X only shows the main image of the article and area, and does not provide the content of the news. By clicking on the image, the user can go to the site that is the source of the news and can only access the content this way.

Previously, social network users would see the headline of the news next to the image.

It is stated that in August this year, Elon Musk, the owner of X, confirmed that such a change regarding the publication of news on the social network was being worked on.

As you know, Musk regularly clashes with traditional media. For example, he had previously removed the verified flag of American newspaper The New York Times (citing the publication’s refusal to pay for verified status), then removed it again, and removed it again.

At the same time, the owner of social network X encourages people to become “citizen journalists” by publishing materials (text, audio, video) directly on his platform.

As you know, citizen journalism is the activity of citizens who take an active role in the collection, analysis and dissemination of information without receiving professional journalism training.
