The image you see here is a partial map of the internet, circa 2005. It's a colorful organic explosion of lifewebs. It's the closest thing to seeing the noosphere that we have ever come. It's beautiful, and I think we need to see it once in a while, but it's totally unrelated to this post.
Study finds no media bias when it comes to story selection
Apr 2020, phys.org
Hassell's work on the study began in 2017 and embraced a number of research-gathering methods, including a survey of 6,000 journalists, election returns, Twitter data and a novel correspondence experiment design.
"There is an institutional set of norms that dictate newsworthiness," he said. "Lots of things drive those norms, but reporters' personal, ideological preferences about what they view as valuable is not one of them."
