Please note that this is not about personal filter bubbles, but rather professional ones. I find this interesting and disturbing, as it would no doubt improve reporting if journalists were more aware of all viewpoints across the political (or otherwise) spectrum and what issues seem to matter in different circles, not just their own.
What they do during their spare time is of course up to them. But their professional ability to report on the news would surely benefit from a wider range of perspectives.

- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoThe issue IMO isn't about challenging their views in general; it's about developing a skewed perspective of what's normal. There are a lot of common opinions, even majority opinions, that journalists tend to write about as though they're weird fringe beliefs, and I think this substantially misinforms people about the state of the world.
