NEW JERSEY
Trenton: Twitter took to New Jersey on Monday to promote wearing a face mask. The social media company has teamed up with the cities of Asbury Park and Jersey City to create a meta-moment befitting of 2020, snagging users’ posts urging people to wear masks and plastering them on billboards. Over the years, Twitter has become a sort of weathervane of news coverage, spurring headlines that someone “took to Twitter” to air their grievances. But now it’s reversed. The micro-thoughts tweeted in fewer than 280 characters are now on “billboards, local landmarks, and other high-traffic areas,” the company said.
