In this guest post, Alexander Plaum, Innovation Manager at Deutsche Welle (DW), writes about his team's exceptionally positive experience with microblogging in the Fediverse. He also explains why all public broadcasting professionals should try out Mastodon.

Edit: DW changed the link after they published the piece. Sigh. Updated.
Edit2: again. What the fuck.

Direct linking is not broken, their URL’s spelling is broken.

They’ve also changed the title to: “PUBLIC BROADCASTERS OF EUROPE, LET’S ALL START MIRCOBLOGGING”… miRCoblogging 🤦

That is wild. Why.
