“No powerful people are in a position to comment on (or even really see) the full extent of their power, and they certainly don’t like it when others point it out. That’s why journalism exists.”https://twitter.com/sarthakgh/status/1279460390565543936 …

There’s also a lot of internal strife at the biggest newsrooms in the country right now about what POVs are supported or excluded. Media itself is also deeply embattled right now.

And then the very wealthiest folks can — through philanthropy — covertly support thinktanks, publications, politicians, etc. that alter the landscape of public discourse in this country.

Sometimes... I feel like there are way more mistakes than get called out. Maybe because some of them are small and not worthy of an entire article. Maybe partly because journalists do view their profession as a community (in the same way tech people do!)

Usually you can just contact the reporter and ask them to fix small factual things, but they have to be clear factual (Y/N) truths.

Yep, journalists are allowed to critique journalists, but if anyone else does, they close ranks. The problem is - as with tech - insiders are sometimes least able to identify problems bc they believe fundamentally in the good intentions of others in their profession.

I think it’s easier for people to take criticism from others in the same craft, regardless of what the profession is....

Both sides do this. Journalists take cheap shots at “tech bros” and “VCs”. Let’s keep in mind there were two Black leaders on that Clubhouse audio. Techies like to take cheap shots at “media”. No one gets a moral high ground when you take cheap shots.
