Journalism

This is the best, most nuanced take I’ve seen about sensationalism in journalism (especially tech journalism).

I thought this article was bad. 

- these problems are not new
- tech journalism is this way because it doesn’t matter: people will get into fervours and the world goes on

Some of the articles ideas were good (Future Perfect), but the few thousand words before were not! 

Caveats in next post
Asterisk Mag is great

I want media to have more positive narratives & admit that this is possible – hence why I built culture3.com!

Media narratives are set by social elites, not by savvy editors. The savvy editor has to win $ support from elites, like Vox & FP.
Culture3 does this with brands, who benefit from a more optimistic world.

Be specific.

Fair takes

But I think it misses the fundamental point: journalism (like this) is inevitable

journalists or readers are not the problem imo

you’re right that SV tech doesn’t value media narrative as much as it should — shifting that view would tackle the fundamental problem: the elites who buy a voice

I liked the article because it leveled fair critiques with suggestions rather than what I see from SV tech people and especially from crypto people that "journalism is bad". The narrative that journalism is bad is how we get authoritarians. Journalism CAN be bad and the symptoms of it are well defined in the article.
