Journalism

How many of us are struggling to get this synthesis in place? The only hope for this country is to break free of the 20th century entanglements but that will not be allowed. The oligarchy is a parasite that feeds on us but they are weak. First they had to destroy hope and then destroy faith in our ability to rule ourselves. That allowed them to gain…

This is an interesting analysis. It seems to me this is, at best, the equivalent of damning with faint praise. Extreme religionists are saved from hypocrisy by stupidity. They gave up any pretense of morality to further their authoritarian dogma putting them in exactly the same corner with every other tin foil hat wearing crackpot. They obviously…

Not to detract from your mania

All of us who write and respond with full stories on a daily basis can end up as top writers in the topics we tag. The importance of dealing with responses as full stories is often overlooked. A good response gives you a topic and a primary audience of people already…

The publications are leaving because the business proposition was changed. The move was made to keep this as an original writing site rather than replications of other publications. At least that is how I understood the decision. It also took a lot of money with it resulting in the loss of staff and content curation that I was lamenting the other…

Thank you. Sorry it’s stuff you’d rather not see. It’s just really getting me worried as people are accepting every outrage as it’s just a little worse than the one the day before.

A cooperatively owned Twitter is the only way that I can see morality and ethics returning to a full media channel. We need this desperately. As described here it could work. Obviously this must host valid stories as well as conflicting viewpoints. We are probably too far gone to have this happen as all members would need to accept flagging of…

This is part of process in the first stage of awareness building on taking responsibility for the media we process. We are all editors and producers now. None of us are exempt from responsibility for what we post, repost, flag or comment. As citizens of the planet we must work to manage the continuous flow of information. Think about this.

The New Local Journalism Already Exists

Just as a suggestion it would seem to make sense to go with the flow. Going against the flow doesn’t work well and you have well described the general worthlessness of local newspaper. As everyone knows these now exist solely to deliver weekly supermarket…

If I may cut to the chase. . . This excellent paper may already have put you at risk. But this is probably the best way to deal with the warp speed development of MADCOM. We need massive visibility and, as you make clear at the end, humans are already being overwhelmed. For all of us in the IT/AI community action needs to be taken. I try to bring…

The evolution of journalism at Medium

Hiong, you have touched on the thing that has made Medium very important to me and, I’m sure…
