I generally stay aloof from the media world I contribute to, and there are both costs and benefits. A cost is that I miss out on networking (though I share contacts on here) but a benefit is missing out on having to feign bonhomie or claiming I love someone’s work bc I know them
The unspoken thing, in both journalism and academia, is that people will promote each other’s work without reading it — this is the common practice. Because if you read some of this stuff, you might engage critically with it, and then you’d be less effective at selling it
I’ve been told many times that so and so is “the leading person” on XYZ or “essential” & then I do the thing you’re not supposed to do, I read the work, & it’s either piffle or a mash up of conventional, thinkable thoughts. But if I do read something good, I sincerely endorse it
When the networking precedes the content, the content just drifts towards furthering the networking and helping out the network friends.
