I gave up trying to reform it. We've gotta build something bigger and better. The propaganda, the copaganda, the immigrant panic is too thoroughly embedded in institutional journalism. It's part of why it's dying. I stopped mourning this and started seeing opportunity. We can build something better.

It has not led to better things, it’s led to more polarization
Journalists aren't pushing back anymore. They used to have their own opinions and weren't afraid to share them. Now they're all cowards to ad revenue.
When there were like 3 TV channels you weren’t exactly getting a wide range of opinions.
I agree with you that there is a problem; but a big part of it actually kind of the opposite, how how to monetize it, especially in depth journalism
In the same way if you keep getting good products from a brand, you are more likely to see them as a badge of quality, and try their other products. Same as if you keep getting bad products from a brand

Capitulation Network News.
So... a publication to promote good sources of information and journalism... called The Turnip?
Oh
😑
Building something better means letting go of a past that was not that rosy. Start anew with our learnings. It can be so much more.
The term "Yellow Journalism" originated from the late 1800s. These problems are by no means new.
Another thing to actively work arm-in-glove with propaganda, especially in our hyper-connected high-information ecosystem now.
