But that&#039;s the thing: trust is at an all-time low, fact-checkers are rarely used now, if they are it is for legal purposes only - this IS new and needs to be addressed. As for &#039;news curation&#039; being a phrase for the cognoscenti, the article is not high-brow in anyway whatsoever.  I had never heard the term before and it was clear to me even before he explained what he meant - which he did. Again, he did not mean &#039;editing&#039; only - perhaps you skipped most of myparagraph on that? Perhaps you did the same when reading his article - got annoyed by the "new black" line and then just skimmed?  I don&#039;t know how one would write with a view to how people will perceive an article if they skim it lightly.
