Journalism: An exercise measured per click

Major newspapers, and especially SMH, have every article designed to generate clicks. An article about exploiting young girls happy snaps for money (aka Soft child abuse) can not exist without the photos themselves.

In addition, they will add their own little touch in the mix, by using their subtle technique called "Pixelation equals Titillation". It is the same trick used by the 6pm news, when they say "please be aware the following footage might disturb some viewers" but it will definitely excite all you tired, bored and disinterested audience, so pay attention if you want to have something to chat about tomorrow.

Other beautiful titles used by SMH to attract viewership are "Race the flame that spreads anger", "Lesbian allegedly Killed lover's husband", "Eight alleged lovers: Former justice minister in paternity row", "Bikie killed after shooting at wedding", "Is literary sex better than real sex?" etc etc.

When in the future they will try to have people paying for this, they might find some Resistance. Internet is full of free soft Porn, bizzare and to-talk-about stories. No matter how much Murdock wants us to pay for his filth, it ain't happening.

One way of resistance against their business model is the use of AdBlock, which means you give them zero dollars from Ads. It also means that you play with those Ads executives stats, making them believe that you do read their garbage.

The best way to read your daily news is https://news.google.com.au/ of course, which is not only the best collection of news you can get, but it also gives you the option to filter out specific news outlets, or read the same story by an outlet from a different country with a different perspective. It gives you the control of what your eyes will see. In comparison, SMH and the lot is a news version of Playboy: Soft Porn + crime porn + mortgage anxiety porn, in between some simple text
