Agree w/ this. The importance of a public broadcaster is that it facilitates a shared information environment. It will be a disaster if voters of different parties no longer share in the same social reality as one another.
Great, troubling scoop. The point of a public service broadcaster is that it’s NOT personalised, IMV.
SCOOP: BBC News to create a new department using AI to help give the public more personalised content.

In a note to staff seen by the Guardian, Deborah Turness, CEO of BBC News, says the corporation has been “defying gravity” in reaching audiences amid seismic changes in the way news is consumed.

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it.

Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was.

Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”
