Public Discourse
Neil Postman

“Social media teach us that the world can be digested into these twenty-second reels or into 280-character bites. As a metaphor, they foster strong surges of emotion but not sustained rational engagement. Postman argued that TV was not conducive to messages of naked hate….But in the intervening years, producers across media platforms have learned that outrage holds our attention just as much as positive entertainment.” - Public Discourse
