Despite Meta raking in nearly $200 billion in ad revenue, some Facebook page owners (SMEs, charities) can now only include 2 links per month in their organic posts & comments. Pay Meta US$1800/year & you can post 20 per month. Want to get unlimited links, as before? That'll be US$6000/year.

Endorsement quote from Karin Wahl-Jorgensen for the book, Media Change: Contemporary Cases, Consequences, and Conceptualizations: (Wiley, 2026):

"This strikingly original, engaging and accessible book is essential reading for anyone seeking to make sense of changes in our media landscape. The book’s richly detailed exploration of varied case studies – from live blogs to AI and internet pornography – sheds light on why and how transformations take place. In doing so, it challenges technologically determinist accounts, reminding us of the complexity of change."

GPT-4o's answers aligned most closely with politically centrist, full-time journalists whose employers have a TV background & showed less alignment with right-leaning, part-time & non-degree-holding journalists. GPT's answers were most closely aligned with German—as opposed to UK or US—journalists.
