Twitter hires Storyful founder for senior international role

Mark Little

Mark Little, the founder of News Corp owned social news agency Storyful, has been hired as a senior executive across Twitter’s international operation. Little, who sold Dublin-based Storyful to News Corp for £15m in December 2013, left in June after just 18 months saying it’s best to “quit while you’re ahead”. Last month, Twitter moved to cut 336 employees, about 8% of its global workforce.  
  • Mark little hired as a senior executive across twitter international.
  • sold Dublin-based Storyful 
  • people thought he “quit while you’re ahead”
In my opinion this movement from being a journalist to being the executive of an international program shows the level of decline in news. therefore forcing journalist to find other ways of making money, and the fact that he now works for a social media site suggests that social media (which is a new and digital media is more secure than working for a news corporation.
