maybe i am dumb & naive but it bothers me that most criticisms of "the media class" here show no interest in the question of how do we actually build good lasting accountable media institutions relevant to a wide audience and basically end up at "at least i have stuff for Me"
like it's mostly valid i too am tired of hearing a bunch of new york writers talk among themselves and class & accessibility critiques are absolutely accurate but the predominant attitude on here across a wide variety of political stances is tear it all down with no replacement
saw a thread from some tech guy today that basically went "i love that journalists are increasingly irrelevant, now i can just have my pr team shape the narrative" and it was like damn u really said that out loud. but similar sentiment in lots of places
not that bullish on it yet, but the conversation around substack is kinda interesting i keep wondering how many people care for news-as-facts outside of very local/specialized contexts and are willing to pay for it (not news-as-entertainment, which social media is enough for)
kinda overly moralistic but i feel we like entertainment the same way we like junk food and like, we should be better than whatever impulse is letting news die esp local news, it's not just facts but the narratives of our communities we're losing and nobody outside media cares
“tear it all down with no replacement” is kinda the template for populist notions tho, why can’t you let us have our fun as an angry mob
