No surprise here. Two peas in a pod. The assault on independant journalists (e.g Substack), independant voices (e.g. Clubhouse) and others continues unabated by the likes of NY Times elitists like Taylor Lorenz. Corporate media like NY Times even covered the original 2004 Harvey Weinstein expose and regularly lies on so many internatonal issues as well. https://www.thewrap.com/harvey-weinstein-new-york-times-bill...…
I don't see how news is sustainable at current employment levels. Most papers cover the same stories from their own angle, but we don't need 1,000 duplicated takes. Social media bubbles headlines and links up from a potluck of sources, so there's no central paper to subscribe to and support. The end result is ad blocking everything, ignoring paywalls, and subscribing or paying no one. If I went to a paper's website i…
If you don’t want the social aspect of news, you can get the AP stories through the AP News app or subscribe to rss feeds to major papers. The AP keeps papers from covering the same story from their own angle, you’ll usually see the same AP stories printed in papers across the country.
I agree it’s hard to filter the news on your own and quality journalism does seem to be going behind paywalls now. This isn’t great for an educated society.

We can't seem to support this many journalists anymore - because FB and Google suck up the advertising revenue.
Would breaking up big tech also bring back the local news room? That would be such a bonus.

Have you listened to any of their podcasts in the last 6 months? Their main ad is always some propaganda piece from Facebook
This company is like a perforated colon that keeps leaking feces into the collective body of society. Pretty soon we'll go into septic shock.

I'm not on an Apple platform and don't even know what this is.
I suppose it works for Apple subscribers?

For magazines I use an app called Magzter its similar to Spotify. However only looks good on an Ipad.

I live in about a 7,000 person town. Let's say half the people would pay $20/year for a local paper--which we had at one point. That's wildly optimistic I know. Throw in some advertising. But I'm guessing you're still something under $100K/year. So you end up with just Facebook and NextDoor and no one actually doing reporting as such.
