Sadly, I believe it’s too late. Attention span is getting shorter for many. Not many would want to scroll a news article. These days almost everyone I speak with is saying they’re busy, not enough time. So, where would they even find time to watch a 30-60 minute newscast.
Which is why Twitter is probably the GoTo for news.
- searchableguy 6y agoI don't buy this completely. I see an enormous amount of redundancy to fill space in newspapers and online news media. An article from vice on any company will mention at least three of their own previous posts and rehash company evil before getting to the point. They will add a paragraph full of questions with no answers and another one for speculations that are only somewhat related. Why bother with that when you can get to the point using a small tweet? There is something online news agencies are doing wrong otherwise you wouldn't see so many startups opening news sumarizers, curation etc.
- iask 6y agoThat is also true. I would come across an article that interest me, however, there’s so much fluff that I would scroll 2-3 times and then just move on.
