So, you know, the written content and the broadcast content do merge.
Um,
And this does open up all kinds of opportunities for misinformation.
Stuff gets put on a level playing field.
It's like the kind of Spotify.
You have Spotify in Australia, I'm sure.
It's like Spotify with music.
in the sense that there's no discrimination in terms of source or age of the material.
So if you've got a playlist, you can have something that comes from a completely unknown source that might date from 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago, right up next to the latest tune from...
taylor swift or uh or you know the rolling stones um so there's it's all on that kind of one one level and it's very much like that out there on the kind of the news feeds um and there's not much of a hierarchy of stories um and you know one of the things that newspapers did was would put stories put stories in order um
So you could look from the top of the page to the bottom of the page or from front page inside, you get some idea of the priorities of news.
Whereas now, you know, a story that might be buried on page 15 of the Daily Mail, we get prominence on the social media field.
So hierarchies of news and importance of different stories are being dissipated and undermined.
So it becomes much more fragmented.
Arguably, that gives people access to emotional, much more level playing field.
So there is a counter, there is a counter argument that, you know, the continual parallel with Spotify, people can, it gives people access to music that they might not previously have heard.
But it does give greater opportunities for misinformation.
The other thing that's happened is that certainly in the heyday of newspapers throughout the world, I'm sure it's the same in Australia, newspapers, and particularly the tabloids, would obviously compete with each other for stories.
Stories that were exclusive to one newspaper would be trumpeted and broadcast.
Other newspapers' publications would either ignore them completely or try and out-exclusive them, get ahead of the game by putting what we call spoilers in the trade or afterwards getting their own angle on the story.
