@asteris people are probably tired with the greek crisis. They have their own crisis to resiolve. & some news seem even "unbelievable".
Did @Okeanews flounder b/c its' in French? I doubt it. Seeing dwindling coverage of Greece in English as well. The bubble is constricting.

@OlivierDrot@mkhalili as I was saying yday, I don't think it's just the Greek crisis people are tuning out. They're walling themselves in -
@asteris Overabundance of problem-pointing journalism doesn’t help either. When there’s no offer of resolution, ppl get immune.@OlivierDrot -
@mkhalili that would intuitively seem to be true, only I'm seeing the same indifference about solution advocacy, and 'good news' tweets. -
@mkhalili some things remain unwavering: venting anger, social egotripping/networking/lifecasting, social media consumerism

@asteris I don't think there was any bubble as far as english sites are concerned... -
@Inflammatory_ not sites, news in English in general. Engagement has been petering off for a while, now asymptotically tending to zero. -
@asteris just because there's no flashy news in Greece doesn't mean there's no news. In fact there are many stories out there for > -
@Inflammatory_ you don't have to tell me that, and it's not the issue here. The issue is the diminishing interest & engagement at large. -
@asteris pls check my 2nd tweet...plus show me who is "not interested" to tell you why and how they define "news" ;)

@asteris That said, could all change v quickly. And there’s a role for activists to facilitate making that happen – if they’re up to task. -

@SimonKnowz Right. Much as we may hate it, it’s the way it is. Change up and adapt.
