The issue of how we consume news on platforms is not only important to follow because of how we relate to how things change and how they happen in the world, but also because the methods of interaction and use of content constantly change, especially depending on the platforms . In Italy and in Europe in general, for example, there is an increasing proliferation of 'communicators' who explain the news in depth and give great value to going to the merits of the issues and not stopping at the headlines, eroding the audience and revenues from large magazines and media which instead focus - as a business model - on having the greatest possible number of contents to attract people to the advertising they host in various ways. Furthermore, it is interesting to see the insights relating to the perceived 'uniqueness' of TikTok and feet of X is something that honestly surprised me a little. However, I think the X team still needs to make some important considerations about partnerships with creators and its identity as a social network. I recently saw an interesting fact about how Facebook is slowly attracting millenials, after having become for some 'the social network for boomers'. Thanks for a lot of interesting stuff in this issue!
