The internet destroyed newspapers ability to milk classified ads so we should look the other way when journals get in bed with the newsmakers? Wait until we have overwhelming proof because the system isn't working?
But things are working for the Times not so much for regional players. How does this help us?
- slg 6y ago>Wait until we have overwhelming proof because the system isn't working? Where did that word "overwhelming" come from? I want us to wait until there is any proof rather than screaming "WOLF!" at a mere shadow. I will highlight this from the originally linked article: >There’s no evidence that the deal directly affects coverage in either the news or editorial departments.
- ipaddr 6y agoThe lack of a frontpage story since the deal on the evils of facebook today is proof that they are not publishing the same type of articles. If you are waiting for smoking gun evidence by the time that comes out we won't care. We will be conditioned to accept it as the norm by then. Now is the time to speak up.
