What does “content” mean? To me, it implies aggregation or takes, as opposed to reported news/opinion/analysis. But is that common?
I want to find the people who popularized the word "content" and i want to especially find the people who brought it to journalism and i want to tell them what i think of them.https://twitter.com/maxwelltani/status/1166419655658999809 …

i think it's a shorthand for executives and businessfolk to think about journalistic product as widgets instead of stories.

This is literally my biggest complaint in media today and I tell anyone who will listen to me about it. Content creators are not journalists, journalists are not content creators, both are imp but very separate jobs, stop measuring them as if they should have the same end game

i think they CAN be the same thing, sometimes, but i don't understand why we need 'content' when we already had many other far less skeevy words to choose from.

Content used to mean a very particular thing. Then, it meant everything.
