This is why I love the quarterly, slow journalism magazine Delayed Gratification: each issue covers events of the prior three months, so they take time to be accurate, in depth, provide context, and offer expert analysis. Because they look retrospectively, you can read about the medium and long-term impact of the news. It's also very colorful and engaging and presents data in very interesting visual ways!
I, a trans person in the uk, went on a train and saw on the back of the metro newspaper a full size ad against trans people paid for by terfs.I legit cried I was so shocked
It was about 3 years ago
I'm so sorry, I can't even begin to imagine what that would feel like. Even though I'm a queer person myself, I've never faced vitriol on the level trans people do... Stay strong, I'm sending you internet hugs!
That's why we need to be vocal for our support, gay or straight, cis or trans.
It is so horrible I am sorry it is like a punch to the gut every time 😢😢
im so sorry
In France 9 billionaires owns 90% of newspapers. So much for the "liberté d'expression"..... Their is a good documentary about it "Media Crash".
there's also the Media Ownership Monitor by Reporters sans frontières; it offers analysis about who owns the media for many many countries, taking into accounts conglomerates, family ties, as well as connections to ruling classes/power! it's a super helpful tool to understand each country's media landscape and to see who the free press actually is (Mediapart in France for example) :)
Cue the evil laugh from the James Bond villain in "Tomorow Never Dies"
Sally do you have any recommendations for where to read the news in France?
@@acalbrecht1 Mediapart is a decent newspaper

*Me as a hydrology researcher knowing that far more rivers have sewage in them than people realise*: ... And they still don't send a camera crew out 😭
:-( for context, is this statement general to where you work? Or does it apply to waterways everywhere? ... & is there a feasible way to prevent the issue from worsening?
@@allyson-- I'm based on Australia. A lot of people seem to believe that sewage in waterways is only common to "less developed countries", but unfortunately that's not true at all. Through conventional approaches to water management in western, middle- and high-income countries, the sewage system becomes overwhelmed during storms and is released into waterways. My understanding is that this is a fairly common thing in many countries and is an efficient solution to an overwhelmed system - But it isn't often talked about since governments wouldn't want people thinking that their business-as-usual approaches are actually harmful. Not talking about it also helps to hide the fact that it's a intentional aspect of present day water management to essentially release sewage into water ways, a thing that the public may consider as something that only happened "back in the olden days". Different councils and governments from different areas will obviously have their own individual approaches to dealing with the situation however. For instance, some may launch effective clean-up responses, or warn citizens about it, while others try to hide it under the rug.
This is also just one way that sewage can end up in waterways. Aging infrastructure that's not well maintained is another, and can be common to a lot of places around the world.
Have you read The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green? There's a chapter in it about the news (well more specifically CNN in the US but also generally the news) that I think is really well-written. In it he talks about how the news often don't talk about processes and ongoing developments and focus more on events and how that can be very misleading. He talks about how most Americans assume child mortality has been going up globally but it actually has been going down. This kinda info is just never on the news because it's a slowly but steadily declining number. Even ongoing crises like climate change or COVID are reported about in events, e.g. a new report or discovery coming out. Or they're reported on in "grim milestones" (e.g. how many people have died of COVID) and that that kind of reporting doesn't give the right background information to contextualize the facts they are being told. Like when it is reported that ICUs have run out of beds to treat COVID patients, it is rarely contextualised with the context of the process of how the healthcare system was developed in a way where that can happen and what choices let to the current state of the system.
There's also an anecdote John Green tells, about how one of his roommates at the time had family in Iraq during the 2003 invasion and so he and his roommates were all watching the news constantly around then (they later learned the family members were all okay!). He talks about how they were all watching footage showing Baghdad and the reporter talking about how the hatred and anger is visible in the streets. The camera pans to destroyed streets and houses, one home with a hole in a wall covered with plywood and there is graffiti in Arabic on it. John Green's flatmate starts to laugh and they ask what's funny. The graffiti, the "hatred visible in the streets" said "Happy Birthday Sir, despite the circumstances".
Maybe this is very selfish and/or naïve, but I've stopped watching/reading a lot of news. Doing so has proven to improve my mental health significantly. If something is happening in the world that is big enough I know I'll come across it on Twitter or someone will tell me about it. Rarely can I as an individual do much about any issues the news covers so why should I fill my mental bandwidth with these stories. I'll support the causes I believe in and try my best to be a kind, empathetic and good person but beyond that trying to focus on my own happiness has been so important. Think about what life was like before the 24hr news cycle and even international news. The stillness of that time is something I find myself chasing these days. I don't believe humans were build with the capacity to have this much news shoved down their throat at any given time.
I 100% agree!
This is exactly how my stance on staying away from the news!
Same, I never watch the news or read anything about them. Usually I’ll hear stuff from friends if there’s something very serious going on, but I’ve come to realize that there’s not much I can contribute to the situation(s). Totally agree with you that humans aren’t supposed to be bombarded with news everyday!
I love media watch by ABC Australia. It really helps me understand the news stories of the week at a deeper level because it tries to call out bad journalism and fact check the headlines.
Hello, how 're you doing.?
Yeah it''s great and I love when they call themselves out if they get something wrong
One of my friends works as a fact checker here and she was SLAMMED during the federal election. So much bullshit peddled by the politicians and the newspapers 🙃
Yes! Big ABC fan here. I love Paul Barry's dry attacks on issues with the media in MediaWatch. I was actually thinking about the ABC when Leena was talking about how news can't create change. I can think of so many Four Corners investigations that led to law reform (e.g. Saxon Mullins and consent laws) or 7:30's investigation into animal racing that led to improvements in standards etc.
Thank you Leena for pointing out how broken the news industry is. I always try to remember that the goal for the news is not to keep the populace informed of the most current and important and true information. It is to keep as many consumers looking at advertisements for as long as possible. And on top of that they all have an agenda.
I always come away from your videos full of motivation to be a better human. Your content is so spot on 👌🏻
TRUTH 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The Guardian is gold though. I'm not from the UK but read it often and every time I go on the website it makes me so grateful that they have calm, serious reporting on the front page. You need to scroll down quite a bit to get the opinion and fluff pieces, all of which are very clearly marked. This is what I want from a newspaper. Informed, balanced (where appropriate) reporting on current news without some random journalist pushing their one-sided views at me which have nothing to do with news. Not to mention that they are the only newspaper to take climate change seriously. It is still a rarity in 2022 for a newspaper to have an ecology section, much less a climate change one. They do and they put it at the top often.
I find the guardian to be increasingly doom-porney. They say almost daily that conflict is "escalating" and climate change is becoming more irreversible everyday. I still read them for the best international left leaning analysis of world politics but they truly aren't impartial to a bit of "the world is ending tomorrow" discourse
15:20 good so I'm not the only one who dumbfounded anytime a newscaster or afternoon talk show host asks completely intrusive and leading questions to a family in grief or anyone who just went through a tragic experience. Houses are still smoldering and journalists can't stop themselves from berating the victims with questions about their whole lives just going up in flames 🙄
wow, this is such an amazing well made important video. I often feel terrified by the news, not just by what they're reporting but by the sheer fact that there are organizations dedicated to seeming to spread tragedy in a sensational manner. I really appreciate the logical approach in criticizing an emotional issue. this is a conversation we need to be having as a united species, great job for using your voice on it Leena!!
"[...] when you see a person presented as the problem, ask yourself if the problem might be bigger than one person." - Leena Norms, 2022
Loved this Leena! It couldn't be more timely for me, I've just (this morning) submitted my masters thesis on the popular news discourse surrounding eviction in the UK, its a fascinating topic all round!!
Congrats!
Thank you Jamie!! X
I honestly think this is one of the most important videos you've made in recent memory. I work in an industry very close to these publications and these issues weigh on me morally every week.
Great video! As a journalism student, I love hearing people's different viewpoints on journalism and having discussions about how we could improve the field in the future, so this was right up my alley!
This is a really great dive into the wild topic that is the news. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinions!
I’ve found consuming news sources that have a built in limit, like daily podcasts or newsletters (or even a physical newspaper) so much better for my mental health than scrolling through a news website or social media. I feel more informed but also generally better.
I also find it useful to have a balance of international, national, and local news. There’s often so much emphasis on national news (at least here in the us) that the other two get pushed to the side. Local news is especially good because you have a higher chance of actually being able to effect the outcome and feel any sort of agency.
I work in the US as a graphic designer for an exclusively local newspaper that covers just our county of rural farming communities and one major "city" (really, still a small small small city). I find it very fulfilling, as we do report on a lot of positive stories especially with school children doing cool things, or any community activism and things like that. We also only have about 10 total employees, so the boss is in and around us all the time and is good about taking feedback from both the community and coworkers.
As an American LGBTQ+ woman this actually helped me understand why some of the information I’ve been getting felt more debilitating than helpful. Even though the UK and US don’t have exactly the same issues it’s all more stressful than anyone needs in their lives. I’m now going to look into the news sources I consume and see where their motives lie. Thank you for making these!
They were teaching you songs about defeating your enemies and holding your head high when you were a child? Wow. My nursery rhymes were all about little duckies and froggies
I'm a staffer at one of the outlets you mention and you got a couple of facts about the owner wrong, which ironically confirms your point that you should not listen to influencers for news 😅 (they weren't far off, very minor technicalities)
You can't leave us hanging, what did she got wrong?
Loved the video 💛 Some suggestions for German viewers: Krautreporter does a great job in journalism. They publish well researched articles with lots of background knowledge. They also have member system and you can become part of the co-operative. Also "Lage der Nation", a weekly two hour news podcast. Well researched and done by two independent journalists
danke für die Empfehlungen! Kannte ich noch nicht xx
leena this is a great exploration of the news ecosystem. one part of the discussion I would love to talk about is the role of publicly owned news outlets. not so much with newspapers but radio and TV as well as internet news, the ABC (Australian version of the BBC) has been eroded over the last couple of decades by conservative/neoliberal politicians. we've had the ABC stripped of more than one billion dollars of funding by a conservative government, journalists fired for critiquing government policy etc. it still manages to be the most trusted news organisation in the country, but that's more of an indictment of our system. all but a handful of news outlets are owned by one of two families. happily, the guardian here is very high quality and has managed to avoid the transphobic editorial bent of its uk sibling.
OHHHH to hear those stories from your gap year with the tories..
Excellent video! I didn’t expect to learn just how different Sunday school songs are in the UK 😆
I love your deep dives. It's so hard to know who to trust these days, but your transparency and sincerity mean so much!
"Darling, this is not news" ah!!! 😱
this video is so insightful & jam-packed! you're the best for linking everything below! :-) I'm definitely checking out the rest of that "hypervigilence" article re: overconsuming the news
Leena, every video of your twenties toolkit series is an absolute godsent and this was no exception. I was just thinking about this the other day! Awesome work as always. Now excuse me, I have to shove this into the face of at least 5 friends.
A lot of problems are long-term issues anyway and we won't miss anything if we skip the news cycle and instead read a well-researched book about an issue we are interested in/we feel we should know about.
It's v easy to detail who owns (pretty much) all the newspapers in Australia. Rupert Murdoch. That's all
Tbh same in the UK, he owns most of them
Yup.
Ok brilliant as always, I have nothing intelligent to add rn but just have to say the button up + tie + top knot combo is adorable on you
Fun fact: the color of a river has more to do with what type of sediment is underlying it than how polluted it is. So a river that is brown isn't necessarily dirty, as in polluted. I mean,bsure, I guess you could say it was dirty because it had dirt in it. Hence why when you go on Google Earth and the Amazon is a dark brown.
The most important piece of content I have seen in recent weeks
Fantastic video! I love The Daily Beast, Bellingcat and the New Statesman. When it comes to journalists, some of whos work I follow are: Oz Katerji, Clarissa Ward, Michael Weiss, Dave Keating, Julia Davis, Rasha Al Aqeedi, Helen Branswell and Carole Cadwalladr. And some folks who are experts in their fields: Eliot Higgins, Kristian G. Andersen, Katrine Wallace, Laurel Bristow, Peter Kalmus, Helene von Bismarck, Boghuma Kabisen Titanji, Mujtaba Rahman. Ok, I'm done listing, there are more I think I listed all the favourites.
This video is excellent as per! But I have to quickly say that as someone who works in river conservation, unfortunately many many UK rivers do contain sewage...you just can't always see it discharging for a number of reasons, one being because the pipes aren't exposed like they have been in the drought. The news coverage we have now of sewage going into rivers is crucial because it's something that has been happening and hasn't been talked about for decades and we need people to get upset about it! Please take a look at the Rivers Trust sewage map for more info!
That quote at the 21 minute mark threw me for such a loop that I immediately stopped what I was doing and journaled about it 😬 describes the past 2.5 years of my anxiety to an absolute t. I’m glad I’m not the only one in this pattern.
The only problem about complaining is that the false news are printed on the front page and seen by numerous people.
When newspapers are forced to write a correction to an earlier article, it's published somewhere on page 4 and seen by much less people!
Love this! I saw your poetry at Greenbelt (I was the lass in a red t-shirt eating fish and chips) - absolutely gorgeous, thank you!🥰
As someone who works in communications, I loved this video! Such a great summary of all of this.
Love this video! Something that I've noticed is that brief and simple news outlets tend to help me not to doomscroll.
I've been using Morning Brew to get my news. It's an email subscription that sends a daily email with a brief list of that day's news. It has a lot of business-related stuff, but you're able to filter out what you're more interested in which I find really nice. If I'm interested in learning more about a certain topic they write about, I research it. If not, I at least have a brief rundown of the topic without falling too deep into a hole.
Great video, Leena! I hate empathy in the news. Step 1 is ask people affected if they will be affected by said tragedy and watch them cry. When the news has tired of that they move onto quoting X MP sending "thoughts and prayers" to the families involved in said tragedy without ever addressing legislation that they could change to prevent another similar tragedy. It makes me really mad and I don't see how its news. Of course people are sad about it! But people seem to think that because it annoys me, I don't find said tragedy tragic. I do but hearing about the thing was enough, I assume the persons involved have friends and family that will be affected and I assume (perhaps wrongly?) that MPs aren't completely heartless and DO think that it was a tragedy. Going over and over peoples feelings in the news is "Darling... Not news".
The who gives a crap covers also make great wrapping paper for presents
I like the Ground News App, it sorts news by topic and lets you see the range of takes on the same issue. Helps reading widely be less overwhelming. I'm nervous about watching this as a journalist 😅 but I'll dive in!
This one was damn good Leena👏👌👍
I remember when my housemate was doing systems design for Who Gives a Crap when they were just a tiny start up. So much discounted loo roll. Memories!
My gap year with the tory party. I'm howling! 🤣🤣🤣
I think this is the most helpful UA-cam video ive watched in a v long time.
Also I love ur twenties toolkit and whenever u post a video on it it always makes my day so thank you xx
Thank you for this video!!
Such a great video! Thank you!
@Leena Norms sometimes you ask for feel good viewing; if you haven’t seen The Newsroom, have a binge on it sometime. It’s a typical Sorkin Quixotic “romp” with a decent amount of laughs. It will make you want to join in and “do the news” (unless you’ve seen it and dislike it).
I love how that look fits the video and suits you so well at the sane time! :) I also love this series of yours though I'm already 28.
Brilliant video, thank you Leena!
I’ve somehow got into the habit of watching the news before work, BBC cause I’m lazy whoops, and it’s kinda meh. They at least talked about the rocket that’s going to go to the moon (soon I hope) but generally it’s just woe is us the world is shit. But there’s this creator on tiktok who talks about science and innovation coming out of Africa and it’s AWESOME. that’s what I’d like to hear about, all the cool things we’re doing
I'm curious, what's good news about yet another rocket going to the moon, where we've already been, to prepare for more space tourism? Don't we have enough forms of high carbon transport for fun?
@@HankaAAR It’s just me, I like science and rockets and space yknow
@@Gandellion Thanks for that non-answer
@@HankaAAR I was sharing that I personally find value in scientific innovation and that a lot of it doesn’t get covered unless it’s funded by billionaires. Space tourism isn’t that, and to say we’ve “been there before” is like saying you’ve sat on a train through Bristol and therefore are an expert on Bristol. I was just sharing what personally excites me, I don’t know why you’re attacking me for that.
@@HankaAAR Also it wasn’t really about the moon expedition, it was more agreeing with what Leena was saying about mainstream news outlets, they often don’t talk about the awesome things that people are doing around the world to give back to their own communities. I say “soon I hope” partly because I know people have worked incredibly hard on this project and also because I suppose I’m a bit of a dreamy idealist, the idea of space exploration and scientific innovation in general is something that I value and am enthused by.
I apologise for the non answer, I was trying to avoid conflict as I personally find it very hard to cope with. I hope this is better.
You are a national treasure, Leena
10:33 man dies in bridge accident - About two weeks ago a relatively new bridge in Norway suddenly collapsed while there were people in vehicles on there (I believe it was a truck and a car). Luckily it ended well for everyone but the bridge and the vehicles. The serious newspapers/outlets wrote about all the similar bridges in the country that were closed for immediate further inspection, but a local newspaper I read interviewed one of the people who were on the bridge while it collapsed; she was on her way to her first day as a primary school teacher (aaaawwww!). Romantic coincidence indeed… sigh
19:47 will consider not commenting or posting about the news online now.
22:07 please make this a yt short/reel/tiktok thanks
All I needed was the intro and I’ve already liked this.
Found this video super interesting, insightful and helpful. Thank you Leena!
Lifestyle magazines are the same, I don’t trust them. As someone who’s first job was as Marketing and Communications Officer for a big heritage attraction, sooooo many times we wouldn’t get featured unless we also bought an advert. So an event or exhibition would get a little article (not an advertorial, proper write up) only if we took out an advert. So i don’t really trust any recommendations made in woman’s magazines for things like make up or even travel (I showed round quite a few travel journalists in my time). It wasn’t always like that, sometimes reporting was genuine but it really made me stop buying magazines. Also, if there was big news, like a historical find, the amount of times a press release I had written was just copied word for word, even by big news papers, was quite eye opening. I also had to stand in as a “visitor” for press photos quite regularly (looking very interested at something historical) and a highlight was one of the photos being featured as Guardian picture of the day. Seeing little old me in a line up of cool photos from around the globe was pretty cool. But yeah, once you know how the sausage is made, things are never quite the same.
I love WGAC, but I may be switching to another sustainable loo roll because I recently found out they're not FSC certified. At least not yet. Fingers crossed they get certified!
A really great independent news source for Australians is Honest Government Ads on you tube. I think they've also done some international news. They are absolutely amazing!
👍🏻 Thanks leena! Loved this, informative as always!
Hello, how 're you doing.?
Omg love the intro
Not gonna lie. The news music is such a jam
Made an order from Who gives a crap now! Been thinking about it for a long time and finally did it! :D Have to say that the fact that they asked me if I was a folder or scruncher made me laugh :'D
Quite possibly the best video I’ve ever watched
This was fascinating.
Not sure if it should be labeled as specifically "in your twenties" since it sounds like a topic worthy for everyone to think about, given how news obsessed most people are.
As someone else mention, I too don't really watch the news. If it's truly important, someone will tell me.
BREAKING: Left leaning content creator claims most women are anti-choice. Am I a journalist now?
Lol, I totally watch movies by watching a review or recap! 😆 If it's interesting enough, then I'll go watch it myself 😁
I don't now the exact figure but in Australia the vast majority of news media is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
Just to say, as oligarcs go, this is the oligarch that owned one of the last remaining Russian independent newspapers who reliably published objective news in Russia. Will not be saying there's nothing dodgy about it, but it's definitely not like it is owned by Abramovich
Great video as always and the most calming ad read I have ever watched, it was so nice in between such an intense topic

Leena: 'I don't have time to divulge who owns every newspaper in the UK'
Me, an Australian: Wait, is that a long list? *screams in Murdoch media monopoly*
Brilliant video 👌❤️
I would perhaps do your own research on this but I have heard about a UK news outlet called Nova (Novara?) Media that is supposed to be an independent outlet
Novara media is a news outlet, I think they're internet only. They are very left wing politically. I'm not sure how they're funded.
Look at those hands fly. They are going places and they are in rush to get there.
Kl, Guardian it is!
I don't know whether this is still true but when I was learning who owns the news about... Eek 20 years ago...there was a big discussion in class about how while technically news Corp couldn't own anymore news as per the regulator there were other ways to get around this, e.g at the time Murdoch owned satellite TV channels which Richard Desmond's p*rn broadcast on. I could be misremembering it but ultimately as well as having a very small number of people owning much of the news, worth thinking about how many of them all know each other/interconnections of owners and editors (which I know you touched on Leena, because let's face it how else was BJ hired to work for a newspaper? 🧐🧐
If only every commercial where a performance art piece...😋

i binge news so much :(
This is a very interesting and important video, but I believe the suicide-example was not well chosen. News outlets often choose not to (deeply) report a suicide because it generally leads to an increase in suicide (copycat or werther-effect). This is a very serious problem, because while suicide and its prevention should be talked about, when it is talked about, it gets worse.
From what I could find there seems to be a 50/50 split on whether this has anything to do with reporting or not. Most of that discourse has nothing to do with any evidence/research and no verifiable sources are listed.
My shire reports heavily on suicides and mental health issues and it has led to a massive decrease in cases. This is because the whole community is aware and informed and have put steps in place to recognise and address the issues. So 🤷 from my communities personal experience I don't think pretending it doesn't exist will help anyone.
I get my news mostly from the AP and Reuters - yes, they have issues but as the wire services they're about as close as we can get to "just the facts ma'am" reporting these days.
Your edit about the Independent being bought by a KGB Russian Oligarch is just peak late stage capitalism/ boring dystopia.
Most entertaining toilet related ad since poo-purri! 🌸
Hit me with that knowledge, Norms 🗞️
Excellent video, thank you, Leena.
