Your Daily Ten@10

This is edition 2024/206 of the Ten@10 newsletter.

Welcome to the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.

This is normally now only for members in the VIP tier (old Silver and above), now that our membership transfer is completed. If you think you should be getting this with your membership then don't hesitate to sing out.

I hope you continue to enjoy this weekday newsletter and if you aren't currently on the VIP plan please consider upgrading.

Enjoy!

• 💬 The Spinoff is disliked by many due to its effective left-leaning media operation and demographic.
• 📰 Its initial success came from quality content, not overt political stance.
• 💡 Imitating such success with ideological content is difficult; quality should precede ideology.
• 🌐 The Spinoff represents progressive views articulately, despite financial challenges.
• 🎨 The Side Eye, funded by NZ on Air, depicted liberals positively and conservatives negatively.
• 🖼️ Visuals and settings in The Side Eye reinforced biases, portraying progressives positively and conservatives negatively.
• 💸 Public funding for media should prioritize unbiased journalism over ideological advocacy.
• 📣 Advocacy content like The Side Eye has its place but should rely on private support, not public funds.
