The ideal article for Vox to write on these lines would actually be something like "don't expect to get any meaningful understanding of issues from articles that go viral through Facebook or other social media, and wait at least a couple months or years until a current event has played out so you have enough context and expert analysis on it to come to an informed opinion."
Unfortunately, that'd sort of undermine their entire business model.
- majewsky 10y agoYou don't have to wait months or years. I've moved most of my media consumption from daily news broadcasts to a single weekly newspaper, which to me provides the most adequate balance between currentness and classification/interpretation.
- bogomipz 10y agoI do similar via The Economist, may I ask what source you have found that you feel serves you on a weekly basis?
- majewsky 10y agoI'm subscribed to "der Freitag", a German weekly leaning on the left side, but with a healthy amount of internal debate. http://www.freitag.de http://www.freitag.de
