I stole that to make a LinkedIn post - Because it perfectly highlighted something I'd been meaning to post about for a long time. Thanks!

Eilonwy@histodons @economics @phdstudents @conradhackett @academicchatter I absolutely adore the way image descriptions are used here. I really really appreciate the added effort that enables me to enjoy posts like this one. Thank you!
Muma@conradhackett @histodons @academicchatter @economics @phdstudents change "social media" to "funding" and you get to the real problem imo.

This is how the focus gets shifted from real work the support tasks. And in the end you have more people to do marketing than inventing, developing and building products

QueenPhilippa"Social Media" is not the operative entity here. Published reports, summarized by those qualified to educate or inform the public, have always been the way.
There are already enough science hustlers and grifters (and their academic opposition) operating in the media and other forums today. The public is not served well at all by those who have no social science savvy. Never has been.

Stephanie Harris@conradhackett This is very pertinent in the UK where the #REF takes measurement of impact very seriously.
was B (this is my old account)@conradhackett @academicchatter @histodons @economics @phdstudents while I get this joke and it probably doesn’t mean to say that social media is worthless, but the idea that social media etc are not important rubs me wrong so want to affirmatively say: SciComm is really important!

We live in the wild west era of social media where opinion without proof, alternative facts and populist politics without solutions have developed to be the norm.
It will prove to be a wrong path.

John Quiggin@xs4me2 @conradhackett @histodons @academicchatter @economics @phdstudents old media went down this path decades ago. Fox News
@johnquiggin @conradhackett @histodons @academicchatter @economics @phdstudents
Admittedly media bias has a long history but the present modern media technology makes it increasingly spiraling out of control. In 1987 in US, the FCC abolished the fairness doctrine and that was a big influence. Fox is not news, it is Rupert Murdoch´s biased right wing polarized propaganda.toy.
Shanna Gilkeson@xs4me2 @johnquiggin @conradhackett @histodons @academicchatter @economics @phdstudents
Except the Fairness Doctrine only applied to broadcast licenses, not cable or satellite where Fox lives. It may have slowed down the Rush Limbaughs of the airwaves, but had the doctrine been renewed, it's likely that those pundits would have gone for the friendlier shores of cable.
Voron@academicchatter @histodons @conradhackett @economics @phdstudents ehh, except the end result of much “research” is published in inaccessible academic journals, used to get tenure etc, then maybe by a for profit company who charges crazy amounts of money for a product whose development was based largely on taxpayer funded research the public never knew about, & the high prices are justified by research costs.
So research being publicized = good

Spensed@voron @academicchatter @histodons @conradhackett @economics @phdstudents as a researcher myself, I can confirm this a true. Open access to all research would only help the research community, and even more importantly society as a whole.
