Newsbreak Contributors FIRED!! Now Newsbreak Putting Out TRASH!.
from Kingdom Influence Media Forum · host Ya Girl Renae Media
But over time, I started noticing something completely different. Instead of feeling like I was opening a news app, it started feeling more like I was opening another version of Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. I'm seeing videos, jokes, people posing in front of cameras, viral content, arguments, and things that really don't tell me anything about what is happening in my community. My question is simple: If I wanted that type of content, why wouldn't I just go to YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok? When I open something called NewsBreak, I expect the news.Another thing that really bothers me is what happened with the contributors. There was a time when NewsBreak had some really good writers. These were people who actually took time to write stories, talk about issues affecting different communities, and bring attention to subjects that people weren't necessarily hearing about from larger media outlets. You had writers discussing community issues, health topics, Black communities, LGBTQ issues, and many other subjects. Whether you agreed with every writer or not, at least people were writing and bringing conversations to the table.That's why I don't understand how you can move away from people who were actually producing written content and then fill people's feeds with videos that sometimes have very little to do with actual journalism. I'm not saying NewsBreak doesn't have legitimate news anymore because it does. My issue is what seems to be getting pushed and promoted. There is a difference between having entertainment somewhere on your platform and allowing entertainment-style content to become so dominant that people start questioning what kind of platform they're even using.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kingdom-influence-media--6649722/support."Kingdom Influence Media is an independent, faith-based lifestyle platform that combines news, community, and creativity.
