Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights

Information once characterized as news by journalists — and by default relevant to everyone — is now more prone to individual affinities. The same information will be viewed differently by two individuals based purely on what matters to them. One person’s relevant news is irrelevant to someone else.
Can journalism survive in a post-news world?

The first was that of the __evening papers (wanbao)__, which in the early years of the reform era were the only newspapers permitted to play to the popular consumer desires of China’s “ordinary people” (laobaixing), and for this reason were able to run highly profitable businesses through the sale of their advertising space. The second model was that of the __metropolitan papers (dushibao)__, which had to compete much harder for readership and did so by proffering bolder and more sensationalized news, while also boosting their revenues by producing and selling soft and black articles. The third model—of which The Times was a product—was that of the __high-end news platforms__ that broke away from the market for massappeal news to target a wealthier and more elite stratum of readers, and sell both conventional advertising space and soft and black articles to companies that wanted to reach this particular demographic. To better appreciate the journalists’ sense of what their newsmaking practice consisted in, it is helpful to consider each of these models more closely.

Transparency, Consent and Control (TCC) is all about privacy and controlling access to locations such as the address book, removable storage, and computer resources like the camera and microphone. These form the bulk of the controls in Privacy & Security settings. Before an app can access any of those controlled resources, TCC has to approve that, for which it examines the app’s entitlements, and the controls in place on that resource. These are assessed through an attribution chain, allowing a command tool being run in Terminal the same access granted to other tools in Terminal, for instance.
