I think News is information about current events. Find the latest business news with Investor Money.

@drew_chalou If CEO of a large tech company gives opinion on future of metaverse - is this news or no?

@thompson_martin Do you think informed opinions like the one stated above given by the CEO on the metaverse get the exposure they deserve on social media?

Authenticity is still a big concern.

@adams_parker Even if your content is called out as inauthentic and your account gets banned, you can just create a new account to post more fake news. There are no real repercussions. Do you think this is a problem?

In an era of social media giant, news is nothing but shortened variations of what people are already sharing online.

@divya14 perfect 🙌 it's because the top accounts in IG , Twitter etc are all celebrities, what else will happen?

News media compete with Facebook and Twitter for readers. To be able to compete, traditional news media needs to use the same short-form language to reach the readers. The problem is that readers don’t want to read short form language, they want to read in-depth and well researched articles.

@kathleen_smith2 , I agree, the problem is the algorithms want to keep your attention for as long as possible, the short form content does this just as well ,if not better than in depth content. As a result in depth content is seen as not good for business by the algorithms - do you agree?
