What will you feel if you hear that one of the best employees of your company has suddenly left the company? I woke up and saw a tweet of Niketa Patel where she announced that today is her last day at Twitter. Niketa Patel is working at Twitter since 2015 in the Twitter News Partnerships. She was a senior partnership solution manager for news, oversees News Partnerships in the US for Twitter. She manages strategic partnerships with newsrooms, journalists and collaborates on content integrations, products, tools, training.
Who is Niketa Patel of Twitter News partnerships?
People love news on Twitter, and anything that happens anywhere is reported first on Twitter. The news partnerships team collaborates with newsrooms and journalists and provides the atmosphere to bring the news to the audience on Twitter. Niketa has 17 years of experience in digital journalism, audience development, and product at CNN, ABC News, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, CBS News, Florida Times-Union, and more.

Niketa Patel highlighted the importance of supporting local journalists. TWTR has introduced a few campaigns for supporting local journalists, such as #FollowLocalJournalists #TwitterForNews #TwitterForJournalists. TWTR aims to help local journalists by displaying ads for both physical and digital newspapers. She joined the company in Jun 2015, and at the time of writing this article, July 3, 2021, today is her last day at TWTR.

She tweeted with a heavy heart that after six incredible years at TWTR, today will be my last day in the company.
The core of Twitter is the Tweeps. I will dearly miss everyone so much. Not being able to say goodbye to my amazing colleagues in person when I moved from NYC to ATL 6 months ago & today *actually* hurts A LOT. #OneTeam 😭

Niketa! Bittersweet to see you leaving, but I know you’ll crush it in your next gig. I’ll always remember how welcoming you were to me as a new hire in the NYC office. Meant a lot. Wishing you all the best!
