The race we do not want to win

A friend recently questioned me about the BIG Media site not having a lot of fresh news content every day.

I replied, “Yes, while our competitors pump out tons of low-integrity, sensationalized content on the high-pressure, click-bait-driven 24-hour news cycle, we prefer to publish stories when they are ready, usually after exhaustive research.”

We will never win the volume race, but we will consistently come out on top in quality of content. We can do that because we seek truth and reader empowerment as opposed to advertising revenue and/or political influence.

Can you spot the difference? If you do, sign up and help us be even better!
