NGO’s as newsmakers

  • Journalists cite NGO’s, NGO’s cite the prestige at being in the “paper of record”, which creates an iron feedback loop
  • NGO’s hire workers, although the fault here is the danger of NGO intentions
  • “news is where the journalists are” -> “news is where the NGO’s are”
    • good for both, it’s easier for work on them
  • NGO’s are inherently political, which allows smuggling of politics into news
    • is there objective news though?
  • NGO donor base profits from this as well
  • Binding of advocacy, fund raising, and NGO’s
    • the NGO existence is premised on the hollowing of states
    • english news donates towards english NGO’s
    • all of this is fair game, but creates a warped view
  • what gets left on the cutting room floor?
