"One of the many great promises of the internet was that it would expand
our horizons by allowing access to information and perspectives beyond
the limits of our geography and personal circle. But research has shown
the opposite to be true: Our digital worlds mostly mirror our offline
experiences. We tend to use the internet to find people who are like us,
and we talk to them about stuff we’re already interested in. As media
companies seek to snare an international audience, they’re forced to
make a decision: Do they play to this tendency or try to transcend it?"
An interesting article on modern social-media driven journalism.
