#Press and #balance

"There are several overlapping groups of people who, probably for different reasons, are more likely to prefer news that shares their point of view:
(a) the ideological and politically engaged;
(b) young people, especially those who rely mainly on social media for news;
(c) women; and
(d) less socioeconomically advantaged groups."

"In markets dominated by fewer brands — often publicly funded ones such as the BBC — respondents in that market also tend to express higher levels of preference for impartiality." In Britain, where respondents use an average of four news brands, the lowest number across the 40 countries studied, 62% of respondents say they prefer news displaying no point of view.

Demokratie bedeutet Kommunikation und Verhandlung unter gleichwertigen Partnern.
Die #socialmedia der #TechOligarchie und der direkten oder indirekten Regierungskontrolle sind eine Kriegswaffe der #Desinformation. Im Gegengewicht ist das dezentrale #fediverse die #balance für sinnvollen Meinungs- und Informationsaustausch. Vernetzung für #demokratiebildung ist der #Zeitgeist der progressiven Kräfte.

Good morning tooters. What a week it has been. This is the latest I’ve slept in & the slowest start I’ve had for a day in for such a long time. From not sleeping too well at my house sit most of last week, to having to get up well before dawn for my trip to #Melbourne yesterday, a full on day & then not getting home until 9pm last night.
I’ve just finished my breakfast but still have my coffee to drink. I think this whole day will be slow, but I do like the idea of doing a reset #Balance class though. We will see. I know I was absolutely knackered when I finally got to bed last night.
It’s going to be a very pleasant #Weather day today, it’s only 22c right now but feels a little cooler, it’s supposed to be getting to 26c which will be just lovely. I should really mow the lawns too, but I think I’ll leave that until tomorrow.
The International Flower Show in #Melbourne yesterday was fabulous, way too many people which was a little overwhelming for me, but I was able to ignore it for the post part. The #Flowers though were awesome. I’ll sort through my photos later & post up some of my favourites of which I have many 🤣. I came home with just one little purchase of some pretty daffodil bulbs. Great day, tiring day - so good to be back home 😊.
