Hi quick media literacy on breaking news — maybe it’s helpful rn.

If you see a variances in coverage, there are many reasons for that.

1) outlets have dif. standards for how to address speculation on crime scenes (ie what to say ocurred before law enforcement confirm) 🧵

This video from @TaylorLorenz about the potential collapse of journalism is deeply important. Especially over the past 48 hours

“I don’t think people understand how bad the world would be without journalists”

“I don’t want to live in a world where all of the news is delivered through 60-second videos with retention editing”

“The rise of citizen journalism on apps like TikTok and elsewhere has overwhelmingly been a positive thing. … but there’s a ton of really talented journalists that are also just not great social media people”

“Some journalists do really deep investigations or local reporting or sit through hour-long city council meetings to hold some local politician to account… and that’s really important work. And it’s work that somebody should pay for and it’s work that’s not rewarded by these social media algorithms”

“It’s really hard to amass a subscriber base and then maintain that subscriber base over time when you’re doing investigative work. And that’s if you don’t get sued out of existence after you publish the first critical story of a billionaire”

“Journalism is something a lot of people won’t realize they miss until it’s gone”
