Media outlets that rely on X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter, may need to brace for a big change. Elon Musk plans to remove headlines from how linked articles are displayed in tweets.
Currently, when a publisher or normal user tweets a link on X, the tweet generates a display format known as a “card,” which shows the article’s featured image, a headline and a short description. Clicking the card takes the user to the article.
But once the change is implemented, X (which most people still refer to as Twitter) cards will display only the featured image from the article.
