#4Anyone know of efforts to fix this space? Looking for a good excuse to quit my well paid corporate job and make a difference. News today is:
- Infotainment - Tribal reinforcement - Irrelevant - Not actionable (and thus, depressing) - Making people think the world is getting worse - Immediate and not well thought out or nuanced
In some ways it's their fault, but on the other hand, the modern reader won't pay for news. Maybe it's largely a business model problem?
It's literally killing people and needs to be disrupted, fixed.

#5This article doesn't even remotely go where you think it would if you're going off the headline and your preconceptions.
Ends up as
> CEOs have long put themselves forward as the people able to upgrade America's physical infrastructure. Now it's time for them to use the trust they've built up to help rebuild our civic infrastructure.
Who's trusting most CEOs?
Being charitable, I guess people are trusting people who are actually able to put money into their hands and food on their table, rather than people who make promises or give abstract benefits or who take money from them?

#6> Faith in society's central institutions, especially in government and the media, is the glue that holds society together.
Perhaps people are starting to think that having media as a “central institution” is not actually good for society.

Is this satire?

#8At the bottom of this rundown there is a
"Bottom line: CEOs have long put themselves forward as the people able to upgrade America's physical infrastructure. Now it's time for them to use the trust they've built up to help rebuild our civic infrastructure."
It's just one line but they've spent the whole post talking about how media is not trusted and then end it with a clearly opinionated bottom line.
How does this help?

Your impression of "news today" lacks nuance and does not give me confidence in your ability to "make a difference" in the journalism industry.

#10> How it works: Media outlets can continue to report reliable facts, but that won't turn the trend around on its own. What's needed is for trusted institutions to visibly embrace the news media.
This is an extremely weird and disturbing conclusion. Orwellian even.
What’s needed is for news organizations to not only report facts, but stop telling stories in ways that only benefit their own ideological systems.
That’s unlikely to happen with existing brands that have effectively now chosen a side, because they have cultivated an audience that now expects them to keep delivering.
It might happen with something new.
