This came up on the abc - a guide for journalists for using the platform formerly known as twitter

Some useful info and tips there, thanks. Are the daily limits still a thing or has that been dropped since that article was written?
The ABC pulled most of their Twitter/X accounts this week, including @abcemergency which is a bad move imho

I think they kept a few of the more 'important' ones. I would assume that the emergency account will be replaced before bushfire season, at least I hope it will.

You'd hope so, but for now they are referring people to @abcnews for emergency updates.

This is actually super helpful, because I know that a few of my fellow journalists were a bit confused on how to navigate Twitter being known as X now.
