5. someone literally had to write a manifesto saying "lol, guys, we think newspapers should be guardians of truth and, like, good citizens"pic.twitter.com/noY4wgE319
6. the fake news problem was overwhelming, and it took a long time for newspapers to build their reputationpic.twitter.com/RlwublxRBo
i agree that this is a new challenge! my point: the news universe has always tended toward chaos & it's naive to assume otherwise
I read a lot of history; know all of this. I think it is naive to assume that there isn't something new and alarming going on.
i wasn't implying either — i was trying to make a point about how it has always taken hard work to build trust in newspic.twitter.com/M8yJvTZwhb
Fine but don't start with attempts to calm people. "i know i know" etc. The savvy stance: I find it intellectually debilitates.
I'm not objecting to pointing out the history and the need for hard work. It's the "calm down, we always had it" attitude.
don't think that was the tone or the intent, but i guess that's a different conversation about talking on the internet
I understand. But I also think the tone you start with is deeply internalized among journalists and even many academics.
