Prediction on NiemanLab anticipates increased news tampering as 2020 election draws closer.
The article on NiemLab predicts that news apps and push notifications will be used to push outrage news and click bait headlines. It references the 2018 midterms as the first glimpse as "some locations only received alerts from NBC News about one party’s candidate". What I found interesting is that local elections could have "national interest" with the widespread smartphones and push notifications from news apps. This prediction has already come true. The primary for the 14th NY Congressional district is being watched with anticipation as congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is challenged by a moderate Democrat. This particular race has eyes all over the country on it because AOC represents a movement of progressive Democrats challenging establishment Democrats across the country.
