This document discusses issues with online news and the future of journalism. It notes that newspapers historically aimed to produce readers rather than just report news. By the 1660s, news became manufactured from a single perspective. The document contrasts differentiation, which fosters democratic reasoning, with hyper-differentiation through personalization and filtering. It also discusses how people now curate their own selective news feeds and spend less time reading online than print news. This decreased exposure can lead to less political knowledge and increased polarization. The market is changing as audiences reject TV for internet, challenging traditional media. While journalists' jobs are changing, the future remains bright with more global access to stories.
