It’s a sign of a maturing audience when they demand for better reporting.

But singling out a journo—who btw kept the lights on for a fact-checking show in the partisan jungle of YouTube—for not adapting to rigors of another platform (Twitter) overnight, is hardly encouraging.
We’re all trapped in a slow-reforming profession in an industry whose practices and policies are not just set by newsrooms but by layers of ownership and their affiliations and commercial models that tie our hands.

Add the political atmosphere that’s suffocating...
Plus the often contrasting demands of journ on multiple platforms, each with own set of characteristics and audience profiles.

I’m excited, I sense a fact-checking / contextual reporting revolution underway. I hope it’s incentivized, not necessarily at our colleague’s expense.
