The Changing Conception of Disagreement in Media - Local News edition
The perception of disagreement in media has transformed, where presenting progressive content can label the opposing side as irrational insurrectionists, leading to a dismissal of their opinions. The shift towards ideological segregation and the decline of traditional local news has affected the ability to engage with diverse viewpoints.

However, the rise of younger, activist-driven media professionals has veered away from traditional notions of fairness and objectivity, silencing dissenting voices and undermining the value of diverse perspectives.
