“When I’m posting an article to Twitter, I want to make sure my headline is not fake or clickbait, but that it is worthy of someone’s attention,” @Ric_Butler continued.

[UTK SPJ @utkspj]

“There’s always going to be a danger with the spread of fake news through social media… so much of it is unregulated,” said @Ric_Butler. #UTSMW22

[UTK SPJ @utkspj]

“No matter how much work I put in on an article, if I don’t distribute it correctly on social media, it doesn’t matter,” said @Ric_Butler. #UTSMW22
