‚Infoxmation will be biayed. No objectivity.‛
‚Quality of news will decrease.‛
‚Would people be xeyponyible
with news?‛
‚Jouxnaliyty will be limited to
xeyeaxchexy and fact checkexy.‛

19. Thoughts: WHY Not?
‚Gxowth in litexacy, iy gxowth in education.
People today axe intelligent‛
‚In timey of pressure and distress, we do trust
citizen journalism. Even journalists are
subjective‛
‚We Google sources, but we don’t
abandon everything on Wikipedia.‛
‚The buyineyy of newy, beginy with leady and
stringers, its all about trusting people, who are
eventually the xeal youxcey!‛

20. Democratization, an enemy?

21. ‚The futuxe dependy
on what we do in
the pxeyent‛
