That&#x27;s a culture shift (I&#x27;ve got family who worked DNR in WV).<p>The &quot;single news source&quot; came up heavily in pg&#x27;s recent writing on inequality et al. The cogent point he made, I think, was that the important part is not whether the source is authoritative or accurate but that it&#x27;s universally experienced.<p>And I don&#x27;t think we&#x27;ll get that back. I think the best we can hope for is benevolent mix algorithms in Facebook, Google, etc that incorporate reliably sourced articles by people with different viewpoints than our own.
