As a person with PTSD from witnessing a shooting murder: News outlets *autoplaying* mass shooting footage on social media without CWs are doing so much harm. We have consumed so violent content that’s deeply corrosive to the brain. It’s our responsibility to ensure we disseminate it appropriately.

An amusing thing about ChatGPT is how all the human-produced word sequences it has absorbed have led it to predict--correctly--that the most common way a human will respond when asked to perform a boring, pointless task is to say "OK, sure, I'm on it" and then not do the thing.

One of genealogies of Media Studies is that many early methods began as advocacy strategies of 1940s media reform, in the attempt to change broadcast regulation to allow for more educational channels. Put differently, Media Studies originated as a research movement to build US Public Media.
