@klausmiller In other words, when a news source publishes polarizing content, users perceive bias in that coverage, and that damages perceptions of the source's credibility, making users less likely to shell out $ for a subscription. Just a hypothesis!

@klausmiller I'm wondering to what extent answers may lie in credibility research, and the fact that readers are highly attuned to perceived bias in news coverage.

Today, January 29, is India's Newspaper Day, marking 245 years since the founding of India's first newspaper, Hicky's Bengal Gazette. A day to remember the importance of freedom of the press, and that such freedom doesn't come for free.

A project ten years in the making…

A little over ten years ago, I came across something that looked like a cipher in the notebooks of Justice John Hyde, a judge (1774-1796) on India’s first Supreme Court.
