@WillOremus@newswhip By your logic, there is no news business on TV. -
@chrisgeidner@NewsWhip@pmarca News is a prestige product for TV Networks as it is for BuzzFeed. Peripheral to the core business. -
@WillOremus@NewsWhip@pmarca A key part of businesses that invest in news can be the prestige and/or public service brand recognition, yes? -
@chrisgeidner Of course. This wasn't meant as an indictment. Could say same about, e.g., longform for Slate or investigative for NYT. -
@WillOremus Right, didn't think it was, but also think it understates/misunderstands entire pt of Jonah getting us into the news business. -
