Former local news reporter. 10 years of experience at town outlets, been laid off twice in the past year and transitioning to PR (I got to eat). Seen the journalism industry get gutted from lack of revenue. The outlets I worked for were very influenced by advertisers, the whims of local business funding and clickbait online views, and local politicians and officials the editors and publishers were friends with. Social media cut into interest in and funding for the news. People don't care to subscribe because they turn to TikTok, Facebook, and memes for information, sometimes getting misinformed. A lot of local outlet owners either don't know how to take advantage of the digital pivot (because print is effectively dead...not dying, dead) or are just owned by massive private equity companies that lay everyone off and cut costs for shareholders. Part of me is okay watching the usual media outlets die because it is a VERY toxic industry behind the scenes full of backstabbing and lack of empathy for the story subjects, as well as the attempted crushing of a work-life balance, all accelerated by a decaying way of being. However, I of course don’t want to see propaganda spread and support independent news (shoutout to Mother Jones and Democracy Now). I feel KZbin is taking the place of trad media. There's tons of high-quality informative documentaries and video essays about issues past and present with a progressive streak, all for free. Well-done video, as usual.

@badbabybear16 күн бұрын
@ I’ve thought about if public funding from the government could help. In theory that would be great but there’s too much of a risk for that to devolve into govt propaganda. The way to try to prevent this is safeguards mentioned in another comment but I don’t trust American society to enact that. Paid subscription models could also help but you’d need a LOT of readers/viewers to sign up and sadly people are more willing to sign up for an entertainment streaming service than a news outlet. I’ve heard some outlets are having varying small success with registering as nonprofits. Get donations, don’t have to actually make a profit to stay in operations, etc. but obviously that involves a lot of financial begging and closely watching financial numbers, as we see with affiliate npr stations.

Any market driven media will be biased to the market rather than truth. It's interesting that the most free and neutral media is found in nations that have very low corruption and state funded media as a primary outlet. If the flow of funding isn't from commercials and subscription, but rather state funded, but dislocated by law to be influenced by politicians themselves, it is run as a third pillar of society, externally reviewing politicians. In nations like Sweden, the Swedish Television takes great care in trying to be neutral. They aren't driven by either the market or the online attention market. They aren't driven by making catchy headlines or flashy news, but instead focus on informative news inclusive of all groups in society and constantly being reviewed to stay on that neutral path. People jump to conclusions about this and try to frame Swedish Television as being "state owned propaganda", but there's no propaganda, it's cut off from influence. It's written into law that the only thing that flows between the state and this media outlet is tax funding. And with this low corruption it actually works at being neutral and trustworthy. The only ones saying otherwise are usually the extremists, primarily the populist right, but they're mostly just interested in fascist control over society anyway so there's no surprise they attack them. Seeing this news outlet actually functioning properly, then comparing it to the rest of the world, it's remarkable how much actual propaganda people accept in other nations. The US is remarkably lacking of actual neutral news. Almost everything is framed in this skewed perspective, regardless of outlet, while influencers online skew things even more as they often lack the rigor of journalistic ethics. There's no wonder US citizens are so badly informed or have such extremely biased opinions. There's not really a single outlet that's dedicated to true neutral journalism. There are only bright spots of great journalists who cut through the noise, but no consistently trustworthy outlet. If so, they are very invisible or maybe even suppressed by the larger outlets. Sure, the reason why Swedish Television works is because the nation overall is very low in corruption and the system is formed so that it's hard to control anything from behind a veil. But if the nation is fundamentally stable in this way, such news outlets actually works. In general.... get the market away from news and get state people away from deciding what the media should do. Keep media detached from that, and exist as its own entity, aimed to review society but at the same time funded by society. No one should control or own it and every news should have citations and good side material that complement how the news articles are composed. Main media should be its own societal entity that is promoted as the neutral main source of information by the standards of what journalism is fundamentally about. In a functioning democracy, this entity is a must, or else erode public knowledge into the hands of the rich and powerful. But in essence for the practice of the outlets themselves, at least focus less on opinions and more on factual research. In the US, there's too much opinions, emotionally driven stories and spectacle rather than intelligent dissection of society. And independent media... the equation is simple; when the nation is fascist, independent media is the truth. When the nation is free, the independent media is usually the opposite. But I wish there was a place that gathered and reviewed smaller independent voices in the same way as larger outlets. It's a mine field to try and find trustworthy independent news outlets online. Most are even more biased and populist than the major ones.

Are you content with how Swedish public media reports let´s say on the topic of migrants? I mean: are there topics which, if you ask a guy on the street, are toned down or not talked about? or you feel it´s fair and free reporting on each and every topic? In Germany there is a growing feeling that state funded media do exert restrictions on what is sayable or how to talk about distinct topics (Palestine ie). Those "restrictions" are of course not "handed down" to journalists by the government. It´s rather felt as (maybe) alienation of liberal elites from low income citizens. Who do not feel represented in how the news portrait politics. So I guess it´s rather felt, or projected onto state media as part of this elite. Like an expression of the growing gap between rich and poor. Any comparable phenomenon in Sweden?
@christoffer8866 күн бұрын
@@MonkeyManRoboDog I would say that our public service media is generally pretty balanced. Actually, even the paid newspapers that rely on subscription and ads are generally neutral except for specific pages dedicated to their political leaning. I think generally if a nation is low in corruption it sort of influences the virtues in society as well. But to answer the question, our media, especially public service reports neutrally on something like the conflict in the middle east. Which means it doesn't shy away from what Israel is doing to Palestinians, but also don't ignore the Israelian hostages of Hamas. And while reporting they're also keen on doing open analysis of disinformation and misinformation, pointing to manipulation of information when spotting it. While there's a risk in neutral reporting ending up in moral complexities, I think that the important thing for journalists is to report both sides of something, but follow up with an analysis of the reasons why something happened. This way the population both get information and expertise in order to form an informed opinion about the things going on in the world. While I do think that journalism overall lacks in complex analysis, I cannot deny that I think our public service media in the north is pretty good at their job. We also have investigative journalists who collaborate with other public service media around the Nordic countries and they are doing a fantastic job at what I think is the most important job for journalists; to expose hidden and complex problems in society. While populists spread bs about media not caring for their side of things, like in many nations, people on the country side feel left out of the discussion, I don't really see that actually happen in public service media. News from around the nation and locally are being put forward in national reporting so everyone is proportionally heard, from all classes in society. Most criticism comes from people who maybe don't understand why their town of 1000 inhabitants aren't covered as much as the main capitol, but I mean, that's statistically logical. Taking the entirety of public service, meaning both the news and the documentaries it produces; it forms a pretty good overview of Swedish society in which most people are heard. At least in comparison to many other nations. What people talk about on the street seems to generally come from inflated concepts found online, mostly in echo chambers that skew a topic to the extreme since there's no journalistic integrity guiding the ethics of it. So if there's any difference between what the media reports on and what the word on the street is, it's never media "covering something up" or "toning something down", it's rather the people who gets riled up by populistic attention seekers online, forming an opinion that is skewed towards conflict rather than representative of reality. So far, public service news do a good job at not falling into that polarisation behavior.

The sad, disgusting truth is, you can't plant an idea in someone's mind without their being fertile ground for it to grow. In other words they must have already thought it for it to take root.
@chrisdunker546 күн бұрын
@morezombies9685 it's both. You have to already agree with an idea in order for it to grow.

@@chrisdunker54 By your logic, that's exactly what you! believe lol. Because you believe that someone accepts ideas from others only when it already has the idea. Where from? From aliens?

People tend to forget one thing. Media companies are still companies, they have a for profit model, so first a foremost the objective of the company is to make money.

Everyone is not going to just learn to be media literate. Even if everyone did, media literacy only helps detect biases, misinformation, etc., it doesn't magically produce context, what isn't being reported, or what has been buried. You need journalists for that, and you need knowledge of and access to their work, which not everyone has or has the tools to find.

I agree. Every time I research something it becomes a quest of epistemology. Even the “way” you research will usually bring you about the wrong roads if you are not careful.
