A Critical Correspondence on Humpty Dumpty's Funding for European Journalism
Jukka Ruohonen
This short critical correspondence discusses the Digital News Innovation (DNI) fund orchestrated by Humpty Dumpty -- a.k.a. Google -- for helping European journalism to innovate and renew itself. Based on topic modeling and critical discourse analysis, the results indicate that the innovative projects mostly mimic the old business model of Humpty Dumpty. With these results and the accompanying critical discussion, this correspondence contributes to the ongoing battle between platforms and media.
