The content warning debate for news and politics is very interesting and I am enjoying hearing the different perspectives. I was surprised by it and it took some conversations for me to understand how and why it was being used for this. So folks what do we think. #journalism #news #politics #Midterms #pmqs

@bethanyusher I was a little confused by it initially, given how commonly we're exposed to content like this. On reflection though, I think it's overall a good thing to, by default, hide anything that can elicit an Adrenalin hit. Let's just chill out for once.

@barneyharris @bethanyusher this idea has legs for me. It’s not “not” owning up to your responsibilities as a citizen of the world. It’s just taking care of your mental health. I’m sure there will be some longitudinal studies on level of mental health vs. level of awareness of global news (20th century). And the media we experience news in now is highly personal. It doesn’t disseminate and dissolve slowly through the community. It mainlines into the palms of our hands.

@lavenderlens @barneyharris it's such an interesting thing and has really challenged my preconceived ideas on how news and journalism dissemination should work. It's counter to industry norms on socials and I think that itself is interesting. But I can't say, for example, @Sky adopting it!
