It’s cute when I say modeling the local media ecosystem & folks think 3D😳. No, systems modeling. I’m talking pinpoints AND the whole narrative system. Making journalism visible & accountable for geographic gaps & harms. mediadeserts.com Modeling local 👇🏾 since b4 the www.

Thanks for taking my question @ShorensteinCtr about #mediadeserts & how the local journalism sustainability may reinforce legacy media & as @mitrakalita reinforced, some media innovation and entrepreneurship *might* be funded? Look to the larger system in #mediadeserts. #create

Nine criteria: Ownership, corrections policy, super basic criteria...Gordon Crovitz to rate "journalism" sites and identify "pink slime" and disclose BASIC journalism practices... It's not that hard to tell, he said.

Another look at dissecting "pink slime" to see what are sites that aren't doing journalism. You can train students to learn this, others too. #mediadeserts
