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
It feels like many think the replacement is......here?
social media moves too fast and has few accountability mechanisms beyond mobbing ppl, there's immense skill & value in finding news & reporting it well & editing & factchecking. i think it's true a lot of editors these days suck but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have editors
unsurprisingly i have many thoughts about this
i wanna hear
There is a lot of precedent around public access and publicly funded media outside of the states (specifically Canada, Europe, etc.) They have their own problems, but the solution is generally: increase access and invest in reach. (I worked in public radio for a while before.)
By “invest in access” I mean specifically: fund public studios and spaces (s.g. libraries) to support people and orgs creating their own media. And by investing in reach I mean: giving them space (tv channels, radio bands, domains and live stream infra) and also promotion.
Likely result of how the current administration is playing the media and how media seems to be incapable sorting what’s important and what’s an obvious trap set by Trump.
