Twitter Removes News Headlines, Shows Only Images Under Musk's Direction to Encourage More Engaging Posts

Twitter/X strips headlines out of news links to improve aesthetics per Elon Musk's direction.

Change displays only article images with site domain instead of headlines for news links.

Musk wants individuals to write more engaging posts instead of just sharing links.

Referrals from Twitter/X and Facebook to news sites already plunging before this change.

Musk said best for news orgs to post long-form content directly on platform rather than links.
