I just became aware that newspapers and TV are now called “legacy” or “old” media.
“Old media, or legacy media, are the mass media institutions that dominated prior to the Information Age; particularly print media, film studios, music studios, advertising agencies, radio broadcasting, and television.”
Do you use them?
I listen to NPR (I am right now)
Nope not at all
I watch less TV but listen to BBC Radio 4 a lot. I would be gutted if it went or carried adverts so am happy to pay the licence fee.
Very rarely. I used to watch tv for MASH, that 70s show, and Andy Griffith, and the occasional weather forecast or local news station. On the free channels that are broadcasted.
Now I ‘find’ free movies/shows online, and am heavily into podcasts with interesting people.
I still think the alternative media space is not enough, but at least it is changing some things.
Watching legacy media now, is like watching satire that was already bad on arrival, from over 30 years ago. The cringe gets ever deeper.
Read H. L. Mencken to get a gist of how the media developed from newspapers back in the 1930s-1940s. This current change has been long overdue, and still hasn’t fully arrived in force.
Legacy media is most likely a syndicate, designed for nefarious purposes, and that is not a theory or delusion, as there is evidence to back it up. (I am not going to debate it, as that is not for this forum.)
Yes, I use legacy media.
Nah not really. I haven’t watched regular television for years either (not even sure what to call it these days haha, national tv?). It blew my mind when i realised recently that theres still a lot of people who watch tv. I thought it was mostly on its way out a while ago lol! I do follow some semi-mainstream news on places like youtube and a couple different apps though.
