The news are still in the "real world", but I guess it's much more expensive to do journalism there… (thankfully, investigative journalism isn't dead yet)
The comparison with radio => TV breaks down when you realize that TV is a medium much richer in information than both 140/280-character text and radio. (Of course Twitter is not just text these days.)
But anyway, I'm much more concerned about not so much journalists themselves, but rather about those people that are still trying to have discussions on Twitter. Starting with politicians, for obvious reasons.
