I sought to build support among listeners of my local NPR affiliate to get one of their big news programs to expand their daily racial diversity. Reddit and Facebook users mostly flamed me. But I suspect (hope) that others are gaining awareness!

All-White panels were the norm last year: Racial politics of WAMC’s The Roundtable

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but . . . daily racial diversity also declined over last year.

Hi all,

I am starting to think about subjects I can broach for my thesis and something I find interesting is the new fast paced consumption that is becoming standard across social media (i.e. infinite scrolling and short-format). Some modern resources would be great if anybody has suggestions. Something like Amusing Ourselves to Death published in the last 10 years would be my dream, but again, I am open!

Many thanks!

Hey everyone!

Ever clicked on a headline like "You Won't Believe What Happened Next!" and found it’s just another cat video? 🐱 I'm studying how these catchy headlines have evolved from old-school yellow journalism to modern clickbait, and I need your help!

If you live/lived in the U.S. AND you follow news/media in any way shape or form online share your experiences in my quick survey and help me crack the clickbait code. Your insights will be part of a fascinating thesis paper on fake news and clickbait in the USA.

You can join the survey here! It's a google form!

The article references McLuhan quite a bit so I thought it might be appreciated here, check it out if you want to! https://open.substack.com/pub/atmidnightalltheagents/p/what-is-and-what-isnt-concrete-in?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=23h2fr

Save the media 📺, save the planet 🌎?!

Let's deconstruct how we got here. The battle to control the narrative on climate issues has been a wild one. Hopefully, if we're better equipped to debunk what we are fed, we can all speak truth to power.

My new essay discusses media inaccuracies, balance as bias, framing of climate skepticism, lobbying, and solutions to level the playing field in the public climate debate.
