Not sure if people will be interested, but this is a back-and-forth between Tony Hirst and myself on the idea of crafting news and information especially for traditional media sources. Of course, to me that just feeds into the culture of branding and celebrity, which is so pervasive it should not be fed. But Hirst responds that that's where people still get a lot of their news. Maybe so - but nothing we do is going to change in any great measure the toxic stew traditional media serves as information, and feeding them simply gives them a credibility they don't deserve. Just my view.
