Journalism in the Age of Social Media (2010) (ox.ac.uk)
3 points by reqo 7 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments



Back in the early 2000s before social media, google news aggregator revealed how much journalists lied. Straight up propaganda in some cases.

I made a prediction back then that journalists would up their game and only publish the truth. I was wrong.

Now social media is expansive and obvious lies are called out immediately but they dont retract. They still can't stop publishing lies.

Journalists can't help themselves.


Lol at the headline
