Journalists misreport because the analogies are broken
Manage episode 317006080 series 3287389
I regularly read news reports in which it is plain that the reporter writing the report hasn't really understood what is going on the blockchain, DeFi or crypto world.
And it's not their fault - they're trained writers, not blockchain experts.
The problem is exacerbated by the number of analogies that have taken hold in the space.
In this video I talk about this, using some of the bad analogies as examples of the problem.
The solution? Presumably, better analogies.
And journalists who will listen.
