The words journalism and media seems to suggest one thing, one entity, one type of public role in the world but nothing could be further from the truth. The bulk of the world’s media platforms end up being platforms of record. What do we mean by that? They primarily focus on what happened, when, where, and sometimes, maybe by extension, why. They track what happens that they consider noteworthy in their field, and they report it.
