Very good point about soundbites/headlines. I think the problem may be that people stop at the headline because they feel they do not have enough time to read the whole article. Of course, you could learn more by reading the whole thing. - Rob Diana
To me it feels like a deadlock situation. Media is trained to talk in sound bytes to draw attention, we seem to take less time to get into the substance (that's one of the side effects of the attention economy). Just look at the presidential election going on now. No substance, all one-liners. And that is to acquire the most powerful job in the world. Scary. It can only change if we change our consuming behavior. - Alexander van Elsas
