the WSJ e-paper alert is so cute :') also loved this line: " the news business has created an information system where the platforms are designed for the people who they believe deserve the knowledge, while the experience for folks who have no other access is poor altogether."
reminds me of how so many newsletters and niche pubs now target specific job functions or industries (since the morning brew boom). feels like there’s a whole ecosystem of highly tailored info for people whose attention is especially valuable to advertisers.. which really echoes your point about who’s seen as deserving of knowledge in the first place.
