One of the things that I am fascinated by is the increasing role media plays in shaping public perception. The rise of social media has led to vastly different experience bases (i.e. echo chambers) for each of us. Yet, one area where echo chambers so far are not too prevalent is financial news. Yes, there are differences between ZeroHedge and CNBC and their respective views on markets, but overall, investors still get their financial news from a small group of leading newspapers like the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times and from TV stations that are either dedicated to financial news (Bloomberg TV, CNBC) or general broadcaster (e.g. BBC, public TV all over Europe).
