A reflection on how broadcasting has shifted from its original public mission — to inform, to educate, to entertain — into a marketplace driven by attention, emotion, and confirmation. From medieval town criers to the BBC, from early newspapers to today’s partisan media, the thirst for drama and validation has always shaped the news. This essay asks what broadcasting is now for, why audiences gravitate toward outrage and simplicity, and why I write without seeking approval — letting my thoughts exist, like Shakespeare’s sonnet, for those who may one day find them.
