Tweets about the final season of “Game of Thrones” spiked just after each episode ended, according to data provided by Twitter to TheWrap exclusively, meaning fans either intentionally or unintentionally decided to follow HBO’s request for “quiet in the realm” on social media during the airings of the last six episodes.
In the chart below, made up of Twitter data exclusive to TheWrap, you’ll see that for Episodes 1-6 of the final season of “Game of Thrones,” most tweets related to the show did not come until just after each installment ended. And before each new chapter of Season 8 aired, the show’s official Twitter account sent out some version of this “Quiet in the realm” tweet.

Twitter Reorgs Content-Partnerships Group, Folds Live-Video Team Into Regional Structure (Exclusive)
Twitter has disbanded the live-video business unit responsible for deals with programming partners like Disney/ESPN, Mlb and BuzzFeed, moving to consolidate those functions under its content-partnerships team, Variety has learned.
The move is part of a larger reorganization under Kay Madati, Twitter’s global head of content partnerships, to adopt a regional management structure rather than the previous one based on categories like news, sports and live video.
Madati announced the changes in an internal memo Monday, which was obtained by Variety. Under the new structure, the global content partnerships team will be run by execs for five regions — the U.S.; Latin America/Canada; Europe/Middle East/Africa; Japan/Korea; and Asia-Pacific — each reporting directly to Madati, who joined the company last fall from Bet.
A Twitter rep confirmed the changes. In a statement, the company positioned the restructuring as a way to streamline its content strategy.

After seven seasons and more than 120 episodes, Shonda Rhimes’ fixer-drama “Scandal” is signing off ABC for good April 19. The series broke new ground when it first premiered in April 2012 for its sharp-tongued characters, willingness to take on tough political topics, inclusive casting — and ushering in a new era of appointment (and interactive) television by live-Tweeting.
“I hope that people remember being a little more alive because of our show,” says Kerry Washington, who spearheaded the plan to get the rest of the cast on the social media platform. “We take you on a ride of intensity and fear and romance and sorrow and elation. You’re more connected, and that, I feel, is important.”
The series premiere of “Scandal” debuted to the tune of 7.33 million live+same day viewers and averaged 8.21 million viewers in its first, seven-episode, season. The ratings grew steadily over the course of the first few years,...
