The Nostalgic Yet Frustrating Nature of News Media
Having the news on brought back a sense of nostalgia for collectively monitoring significant events, yet the frustrations with modern news media remain palpable. The performative nature of current news coverage reflects how it has become almost an imitation of its former self, akin to the evolution of reality TV. This shift is seen as a dilution of authenticity, where broadcasters and creators prioritize performance over genuine engagement or informative content. Such comparisons suggest a growing sense of dissatisfaction with the quality and relevance of news presentations today.
