"the guardian could have become hugely profitable simply by running only articles that agree with me" – everyone
the mistake you've made there, you see, two-century-old newspaper, is to say things that don't agree with me, Tom Chivers, because obviously everyone agrees with me (Tom Chivers), so they'd have all bought your newspaper and you'd be really profitable
two notes on this: 1) I'm annoyed because i've broken my own "no sarcasm" rule, and must do penance 2) the replies are FASCINATING. Responders are complaining that the Graun is too pro-trans, too anti-trans, too left-wing, not left-wing enough, and also that they hate Corbynhttps://twitter.com/TomChivers/status/1283758961016135687 …
How is unheard free. Was wondering because the writing is great
A fair point. Personally, I wouldn't support a paper publishing anti Vax positions even is they tried to include a range of views in it, and I take the same position with some of the anti-science bullshit they're putting out in the trans debate.
the trouble is, I can't tell from that statement which side of the trans debate you're on, because both think the other are anti-science. (FWIW my own position is https://unherd.com/2019/12/yes-of-course-biological-sex-exists/ …)
Hey, I think there is an article in working out roughly how much the #twitterhacked people stole.
I can't find that number from a trusted source.
Visavis @guardian I suggest #WebMonetization
I don't think it'd every be hugely profitable, but I do think that the Opinion section does an amazing job of alienating basically everyone on all sides and there's a worthwhile market test of seeing if people would be more likely to do the paid support 1/2
if you had a way to specify that the money was not to be used to fund the salaries of the Opinion section (or regular columnists) at all, not just "the ones I don't like". If the Guardian wants to argue the value of investigatory journalism then let people fund them alone? 2/2
I know it’s twitter but way too simplistic. Being trans entitles you to protection under the law, like other protected characteristics. If the stuff they had put out on trans had been said about black people or people with disabilities, I don’t think you would be tweeting this.
The problem with all newspapers is that they didn't change their business model quickly enough to cater for news being 24/7 on social media. That and the break down of trust in both papers and political commentators/journalists. This is an industry wide issue
A huge problem is that they resent social media and the power it has to force a story to the top of the news agenda that's not of their choosing. They won't cater for something they struggle to take seriously.
