K.C. Johnson / @kcjhoop: Beyond my personal feelings for what this place meant to me while growing up, while I proudly worked there for 29 years and while still subscribing now to the print product, this newspaper is essential to our city.

Crispin Hunt / @crispinhunt: Shocking! Song Black-Box Heist of $424,384.787 to be distributed by @MLC_US according to Market Share; rewarding the most administratively efficient when it is perfectly clear that this income belongs to those who were not properly registered for whatever reason. #BrokenRecord https://twitter.com/...
Nadine Shah / @nadineshah: Distribute this to artists that actually need it, put it to good use. Don't incentivise inaccuracy. Black box money should be put back into the industry where it's needed most to help it thrive and keep it alive. https://twitter.com/...

Joshua P. Darr / @joshuadarr: Punditry over policy. Comms over committees. Media coverage is the currency of today's Congress, and the most divisive voices reap the rewards. We analyzed 46,218 TV news transcripts & found that extreme ideologues get more airtime: https://theconversation.com/ ... (@ConversationUS)
David B. Larter / @davidlarter: Almost like the degradation of the fabric of our society isn't JUST due to social media 46,218 news transcripts show ideologically extreme politicians get more airtime https://www.niemanlab.org/... via @NiemanLab
@niemanlab: “We found that the House that's shown on the news is much more ideologically extreme than the actual House.” https://www.niemanlab.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Lulu / @lourdesgnavarro: As the article suggests much has to do with the demise of local news, and much with the business model of news. I hope this causes some self reflection. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Hannah Allam / @hannahallam: “We found that the House that's shown on the news is much more ideologically extreme than the actual House. When we divided representatives into 5 equal groups by ideology, we found that the most extreme groups on each end of the political spectrum were most often given airtime.” https://twitter.com/...
Debasish Roy Chowdhury / @planet_deb: Interesting research from the US on how media attention incentivises extreme positions on part of public officials. If political parties equate media buzz with success, as parties often do, rogue politicians are much better placed to succeed https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@dc43: “Extremely conservative and extremely liberal legislators receive far more airtime than their moderate counterparts. ... Sticking out from the crowd can elicit attention from media outlets seeking to highlight controversy in order to attract viewers.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...

Mary Ellen Klas / @maryellenklas: Media exposure is currency. Now, researchers have proof that when a politician - state and national - is more ideologically extreme, he/she gets more coverage, especially on television. Brace yourselves for 2022. It also explains FL now. Good read: /thread https://theconversation.com/ ...
Tiago Dias / @tiagodf: Being a radical buys you free airtime part 3,259: “Our research shows that ideologically extreme members of Congress get to speak more often than moderates on both cable and broadcast networks.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Logan Molyneux / @loganex: Because traditionally, deviance and extremism are the very definition of news. Is it even possible to change that? It's meant to be one of society's ways of reinforcing norms (the bad guys get punished). But maybe that doesn't work anymore? https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Karen Francisco / @kfrancisco: “Instead of shaping policy that would help them locally, politicians focus on burnishing their national profiles, either through winning coverage on national cable and broadcast news or by boosting their social media followings.”
Karen Francisco / @kfrancisco: “Then there's social media, which allows politicians to bypass reporters and editors. Rather than merely hoping reporters publish their quotes, representatives can tweet and post whatever they like, reaching large audiences of supporters and donors.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
