> Would you be more specific about what you think should be done differently? For example, in reporting about whether someone supports democracy? No, because I'm not a news person myself. I can see there's a problem, but I don't know how to fix it; I don't know the job or the business behind it well enough. I'd look to people like Jay Rosen and Margaret Sullivan for good critiques and perhaps some suggestions of what should be done differently. But it's tricky! Because not only is the reporting part of it struggling right now, the whole business aspect is in trouble as well, which compounds problems - like I mentioned with local news. And once again, I have no idea how anyone fixes that. Perhaps some enterprising person on Hacker News will figure out something that works, although I suspect it's more of a people problem than a technology one.
