      swodinsky RSButner I do think that the tendency of mainstream publications to report every event as devoid of history is fundamentally bad journalism and it makes everything seem like brief abnormalities instead of attached to real context. The resulting reporting implicitly supports the status quo

    swodinsky RSButner It's interesting that the live blog format for big pubs, now that it is viable for SEO with Google's changes, has become the way to provide more context rich and timeline based reporting.

      swodinsky RSButner I don't think we should underestimate the impact on editorial strategy from how social and search have seen added context as repetitive non-unique content for almost two decades. But people want that context. Every news event should have a heavy duty timeline like web3isgreat.

        swodinsky RSButner I think the problem is neither furnishing truth or point of view but how most journalism presents everything as a one off with little depth of work which makes it very easy for the alt r*ght and others to present their content as on equal footing...

          swodinsky RSButner If everything looks like a page on the internet produced by a single person, every page on the internet becomes equally capable of manufacturing consent. Big journalism rarely shows readers its work, either historical or editorial, and so puts itself equal to mediocre liars.
