Twitter Analytics for Journalists
Keep a searchable working record of public posts you can still collect.
Plan the review
Choose the data source
Upload your own X archive for aggregate posting insights, or use a paid plan to collect available public posts for search and export.
Check the period
Inspect coverage before comparing accounts or drawing conclusions. An upload or collection only reflects the data available in that source.
Keep the context
Record source URLs, dates and metric definitions alongside the review.
A practical workflow
Collect available sources
Start with a public profile or known post URLs. Keep the original URLs and record when collection occurred.
Find relevant statements
Search stored text and filter by date or tweet type. Check the original source and wider context before quoting a claim.
Prepare your evidence
Export selected collected records for review. Use Screenshot Studio for clearly identified illustrations, and distinguish editable recreations from captured evidence.
Review limits
Before sharing or relying on a result
Collection cannot recover a post deleted before it was saved. Missing posts do not prove that nothing was said.
Before sharing or relying on a result
A stored record does not independently verify an author, claim, timestamp or chain of custody.
