kustomkarkommando posted:i think the problem is that a lot people who are clued up are geared towards advocacy and, though they can and do speak with nuance when addressing a knowledgeable audience, are frustrated by the general public lack of interest in the west - so they kind of talk to them like they are dumb kids any kind of foreign news is always going to be a hard sell. at a certain point, you've got to give up trying to reach everyone and just aim to make solid articles for the people who actually care. if you're good, you might even get some other people to care as well. that's all you can hope for, really.

Turns out that my interim academic training is actually relevant and helpful

R. Mute posted:it's not as condescending as i made it sound, but it does rely heavily on showing the humanity of the people there to create a connection with the audience here. problem is that it focusses so heavily on creating the connection that it forgets to actually go beyond that. this is mainly the type of smaller websites and publications that are pretty left wing and focus on world news, tho. maybe you just turn your siemens AC fan up real loud to block out the outside world but I like to hear and keep up on the news r mute
