Which news get highlighted on everyone's ever-present pocket computer is a more important editorial decision in 2024 than which stories get on the front page of the dead tree newspaper. And what the Times and others choose to assign this importance to is often... not great!

I don’t understand people who enable notifications from any news thing, it’s like giving my phone direct access to the glands that squirt anxiety chemicals

The Claudine Gay "plagiarism scandal" shows the power of an outlet like the Times choosing a story they want to hammer over and over via these sort of notifications. Could easily choose to do that for any number of Trump's alarming and unpopular proposals but they just... dont'!

Everyone? It costs $25/month for the privilege! In the 90s NYT frontpage headlines had agenda setting power, at least that was the claim. But it's just not the case with this stuff now. This whole line of criticism has felt ungrounded and archaic for 20 years.

Yet not 9 hours ago, one of their most prominent columnists (Krugman) skeeted that Very Serious People he talks to are "irrationally complacent about the consequences — economic and political — if Trump wins." As if the editorial decisions made there don't in any way contribute to this attitude.

When deciding, the first question is ‘what will get the most engagement’ and then there aren’t any more questions
