"For You" vs For Workers

How do we get our news?

I am revisiting my content creation and consumption practices, starting with Apple News. The U2 album of news readers baked into the iOS native setup. If you're curious about the power of a platform like Apple and iOS for their community of investors and readers, stick around.

For You

The Apple News algorithm provides a couple of news lists for me. That seems cool in theory, but what I can only describe as a trending investor news slate appears in front of me in my For You section.

That's not the content for me. I'm looking for something more along the lines of For Workers.

What does For Workers look like?

I'm not usually intrigued by puzzles but as I explore the Ghost platform, for workers, I'd like to start identifying the gaps that are currently distracting the work I should be doing. This morning started great, but as I looked for a recent healthcare article from 48 Hills on Apple News, I came across plenty of junk that isn't for workers.

We desperately need a kaleidoscope of art and consciousness when creating and consuming content for workers, abolitionists, and the community. And with that, I'm back to it. ✌
