In a latest move, X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk has decided to remove headlines from news links shared on the platform.

Musk in his latest tweet has said that journalists can now publish news directly on the platform. The move is being made to make more space for other tweets on the platform’s space, which works as a top source of information for many users.

If you’re a journalist who wants more freedom to write and a higher income, then publish directly on this platform!

The change will give more vertical space to the platform and maximize tweets, according to reports.

This comes at a time when the platform is adjusting to the new name, layout and other changes brought on by Musk since he took over Twitter’s operations.

Reports say that if a user wants to add a headline, they will have to do so manually, while the tweet will just carry the link or image of the news.
