The lack of self reflection in journalistic circles is amazing, but big tech ruined them, too.
1) Writing to appease Google rather than readers. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxLKUM0FlCw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxLKUM0FlCw) (http://experiment.cjr.org/experiment/features/the-evolution-of-headlines-at-the-new-york-times/ http://experiment.cjr.org/experiment/features/the-evolution-...)
2) Producing video to appease Facebook. (https://digiday.com/media/the-new-york-times-facebook-live/ https://digiday.com/media/the-new-york-times-facebook-live/) (https://www.cjr.org/tow_center/facebook-live-new-york-times.php https://www.cjr.org/tow_center/facebook-live-new-york-times....)
3) Have everyone tweet to appease Twitter. (https://www.niemanlab.org/2015/01/dont-try-too-hard-to-please-twitter-and-other-lessons-from-the-new-york-times-social-media-desk/ https://www.niemanlab.org/2015/01/dont-try-too-hard-to-pleas...) and how it is going (https://twitter.com/nyttypos https://twitter.com/nyttypos).
Ms. Swisher is one of the tech pundits I always read.watch when she interviews someone. Perhaps she can do this with the new administration and find out why we allow the failed social media experiments to continue.
