    Strangely, a lot of newsroom revolts are driven by the fact that job prospects in media are so bad. It's not a field where young people feel like they have an obvious career path. So they have nothing left to lose.

        Unless a whole lot changes, that's going to be the story of the country for the next 10-20 years.

        Precarity is also the biggest driver of cancel culture in media and academia. Shame that most of the people who decry cancel culture fail to draw that connection

        The biggest driver? Not so sure about that. Precarity was way worse in those fields 10 years ago, but the cancel culture stuff was mostly in Tumblr and Something Awful corners of the internet Precarity and elite overproduction matter, but so does institutional cowardice

        I have to wonder whether the issue of media job prospects has something to do with this behavior rather than the normal explanations about media consumption The new arcane language rituals in a shrinking and geographically concentrated field: not just a reaction, but a driver

        Strangely, a lot of idiotic commentary on workplaces is driven by people who have no clue how they normally work, because they've only ever worked in cosseted institutions like academia, where nobody is accountable and political gangsterism is the most viable career path.

        This doesn't seem to me to be limited to journalism... But I wonder if it's actually caused by poor job prospects, or our increasing need for immediate gratification. It seems to me that many can not deal with the timescales involved in developing a career.
