Maybe. The alternative is most people simply aren’t going to engage with long-form journalism. Keeping the analysis behind subscriptions while video summaries make ad revenue on YouTube and Twitter might be the best fit.

- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> when that same society has the attention span befitting TikTok? I think the point is all of society isn’t that. Some people still pay for proper journalism. Those who don’t want to don’t have to.
