The majority of news influencers are conservative men, study finds The latest Pew Research report on news content creators paints a damning picture of our skewed information ecosystem

One of my unpopular opinions is that creators are dramatically more exposed to ugly market forces than the imperfect mass media they’re replacing, and we’re going to miss the anticommercial tendencies inside of legacy newsrooms once they’re finally gone.

seems like we have the lit on pieces, but not sure they're put together enough? top factors seem like (a) p-ship; (b) weak actual commitment to democracy; (c) lack of sophistication needed to recognize threats; (d) first-order self interest; (e) media/horserace covg muddles reality; (f) others?
