Fast, but inefficient.
Inefficient how? I don't use twitter, I never liked twitter being mentioned in the actual news ("a user twitted this, another use twitted that, etc"), but what's more efficient than opening that stupid app and getting content from people who are in the area where the news is happening?
When you open a newspaper (or their website), articles are sorted and curated. You chose a section ( politics/tech/finance), and then you get fact-checked articles, usually one on each event. No more, no less.
In social media, there is less of that. For some events, like protests or a war, that's ok. Speed is more important than journalistic work.
But if you have little time, Twitter is the wrong place to inform yourself. But it's a nice bonus
