Anyway, I get it, you don't like the new law. Tim thinks it's ok. You disagree with him having an endorsing thrust in his op-ed. You think it's worth pointing out that Tim's employer gets funding from corporations. I think that was not done in a nice way. Thanks for the chat.

Has it not already made it's mark? They are changing in response to the regulation, isn't that a mark? Yes, if you talk to him he thinks it is a net positive piece of regulation. Many others also think that. Many others also think it is net negative.

I just had another look. I haven't asked, but from my experience authors don't write headlines. In his article he doesn't say it is "working" or a "success". Those words are not even in his article text. Rather he says "already begun to change the online media landscape".

Sorry I thought you were suggesting that he or his work is influenced by funding from IMB and Google. That would be a pretty clear attack on his integrity if that is what you were doing.

Hi again, I just checked, apparently I need to work harder for my Google/IBM cut. Also, the main point of the article is that "self-regulation" doesn't work without actual "regulation". Hope that helps.

Ha! I like your skepticism. Tim's also a personal friend of mine. So maybe I'm also rolling in Google and IBM $ because I shared it ๐Ÿ˜…. Ok, you attacked the man, now try attacking his argument. The child-focused policies are the proof, right? That's what he is saying? Would they have them otherwise?

There are more than 24 journalism definitions in Australian statutes.

If the misinformation bill had passed last year that would have added another 2!

Two panels, one on top of the other.
The first panel shows a hand holding a red mushroom with white spots, in front of a small figure with AI across the chest. Speech bubble from the hand says โ€œis this mushroom edible?โ€ The AI figure replies โ€œyes!โ€œ
The second panel shows a gravestone with RIP on it and the AI figure near it. The speech bubble says โ€œYouโ€™re right โ€“ that mushroom was poisonous. Iโ€™m sorry for the confusion! Would you like to learn more about poisonous mushrooms?โ€œ

What is or isn't journalism is a tangled mess that I am trying to iron out. My definition of (public interest) journalism sets a high bar. Most of the news media out there does not reach it.

Is it because much of what you call the mainstream media do not meet the definition of journalism? So why would they seriously examine anything? (maybe they do meet the definition, we'd have to talk specifics to be sure).
