I can't believe this is the top comment. "Can't possibly be important" if it wasn't on social media. That's sad to hear. Journalism isn't in great shape. But I hope that there are stories beyond the TPP and Bernie Sanders running for president (all I ever see on social media).

The "Top 30 Radio" mentality as applied to news.

We must use social media differently. My social media is overwhelmingly dominated by Pluto this week. Haven't heard a thing about TPP in ages or Sanders at all.

I'd also point out that it's a one way relationship. "If it's important, I'll see it without seeking it out" does not imply "if I see it without seeking it out, it's important".
