NGO’s as newsmakers
- Journalists cite NGO’s, NGO’s cite the prestige at being in the “paper of record”, which creates an iron feedback loop
- NGO’s hire workers, although the fault here is the danger of NGO intentions
- “news is where the journalists are” -> “news is where the NGO’s are”
- good for both, it’s easier for work on them
- NGO’s are inherently political, which allows smuggling of politics into news
- is there objective news though?
- NGO donor base profits from this as well
- Binding of advocacy, fund raising, and NGO’s
- the NGO existence is premised on the hollowing of states
- english news donates towards english NGO’s
- all of this is fair game, but creates a warped view
- what gets left on the cutting room floor?
