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.
What they would rarely do is credit that

in the sun and the imperative is not to get your exclusive story the imperative is to get that information out there to get the clicks from it so there's a different dynamic driving this and in that newspapers lose that sense of trying to get exclusives so you get again it i mean there is still a drive to get exclusives but
um, the solutions get lost in this kind of morass and we'll just grab everything from everywhere and, and happily credit it in a way that, that would never happen.
Certainly in my days in, in the industry.
Um, and this kind of taking stuff from other sources, you know, then leads to kind of errors.
And coincidentally, there's a very good example of this in, in the British satirical magazine, private eye, um,
