A low barrier to going viral
Last week Dr Mumbo found himself nodding when Sunrise boss Michael Pell told an Online News Association breakfast that one of his bugbears is journalists pretending that a video or social media comment has gone viral in order to justify their story.
Today Dr Mumbo salutes news.com.au for deciding it’s newsworthy to report (via a Gold Coast Bulletin repost) that a video has had more than 60 views.
The subby must have removed the last few words.
“…and has been watched more than 60 times by aforesaid students”.
