XAT 2021
Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
Twitter is not on the masthead of a newspaper. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions.
Based on the passage, the writer’s disappointment can be BEST summarised as:
Newspapers fear to speak outside the narrow confines of social media.
Newspapers get influenced by the followers on social-media platforms.
Newspapers cave into the narratives shared on social-media platforms.
Newspapers create their own narratives to control the audience.
Newspapers are ready to compromise with their ethics
