Very true. Too much traditional media is still stuck in the 18th century coffee house. Sadly, the only big reformer in the last half century was Murdoch. A fresh approach, which isn't at the mercy of the tech giants, is desperately needed.

I do: connect on (their personal) linkedin with a message, like/comment (constructively) some of their posts. Ditto Twitter, this platform, insta etc. Give it 24 hours, then email. Tends to work better than just cold emails.

In a way, I can understand it. For the royal family, when Andrew gets charged for crimes and sentenced (eventually, one hopes) it will look better for them if he's already been ex-duked. All eyes on the United States, where the big Epstein dominoes will (one of these days) start falling.
