Updating old newsroom processes for this internet-based, individual-empowered era is not impossible. It just takes a shift in how newsrooms see the role of individual members of their audience in the journalistic process, and at what point they’re brought into the fold (hint: do it early).
…pens when the news industry treats people as masses (aka “the audience”). It’s a categorical error. When newsrooms group individuals as one big audience clump comprised of data — like clicks and time on site and shares — and then make decisions about what stories to create based on this categorical error, a narrowing effect occurs, leaving us with the cats in clothes, Kardashian click-hole downward spiral.
