LorryEvery time I try to read an article in the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/@HalifaxExaminer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@HalifaxExaminer</a> I am reminded how paywalls may be to blame for a decent amount of the working-class media-fueled biases we are seeing these days.I am not picking on the Examiner specifically, honest! It's just that they are in my feed and seeing an interesting article I can't read always reminds me just why I hate paywalls for their self-righteous and sanctimonious classism. "You ain't wearing a tie, you ain't gettin' in". This could equally apply to the New York Times, the Washington Post and thousands of other local news outlets. They love their paywalls! Even the word oozes exclusivity and exclusion. Roll it around your mouth and say it a few times. Paywall, paywall, paywall... Build a big, beautiful paywall to keep the moochers out. Like many in a poor province or state (and just about all professional misinformation experts), I can't afford a subscription to these news services - And I can't go to the library to read them either, because that's not a thing any more. Apparently decent, written, political journalism is just for the middle classes with disposable income now. Is it any wonder that so many of the people who most need to see good political writing can't, because they have to pay for it? There's a reason why you hardly ever see paywalls on the right wing sites. They understand the living situations of the demographic they are targeting. I don't really have an answer for how non-sensationalist newspapers can exist without paywalls, that's not my area of business. I suspect a "pay what you can afford" model would theoretically work but at this point it's probably a bit late. The providers are set in their middle class business models and the consumers have picked their preferred snake oil vendor. Right! Happy belated Labour Day. I am off to Rebel News and Twitter to see what I should think about the Western Provinces and CPP.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#news</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#journalism</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/etaoinshrdlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#etaoinshrdlu</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bias</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/class" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#class</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/paywall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paywall</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rants</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IShouldBeAsleep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IShouldBeAsleep</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misinformation</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NPR</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RebelNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RebelNews</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rednexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rednexit</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/monorail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monorail</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LabourDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LabourDay</a>
