      Leo Polovets Retweeted AOL Keyword: Parker

      I do think FB et al. are a threat to journalism, but they are half of the threat. The other half is human nature. It's not that social media companies manipulate the set of news stories that people consume out of malice, it's that they give people exactly what they want to read.https://twitter.com/pt/status/1089572383420084224 …

      AOL Keyword: Parker @pt
      The way to “save journalism” is to make Facebook and Instagram different companies may be the hottest of hot takes I’ve ever heard. https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1089233327918366723 …

          I think it’s with making the distinction between the threat to journalism and the threat to society. Journalism can thrive in a world where feeds hide it from all but the elite who support it through subscriptions. This is what we see now.

          Put differently, I’ll believe there’s a real threat to (National) journalism in America when you can name a single exceptional journalist that has been long-term unemployed. Just one.

          Related stories - Could this be just another way for FB to push more content to the user and thus pick up more user data and more Ad dollars?
