Love an NPR interview, but many have opined that when they see a YouTube link on Lemmy, they usually skip and move on to the next post. In light of this, here's the written article about this interview from NPR's site, in which they share some of the interview highlights in writing.
Being able to see facial expressions and hear inflection allows for a deeper experience. I tend to read transcripts most of the time because it's just faster. But for understanding who Mamdani is as a full introduction, text alone won't get you all the way there, and I'd only so far seen clips.
sure, but even the NPR article opens with a video of the interview. You can certainly choose to share a YouTube link instead of a written article, and you make great points for why. But for maximum reach and accessibility, I generally lean towards sharing text instead of video or audio, if the option is available. There's a reason NPR puts all that work into transcribing the highlights!
In my defense, this was just a YouTube suggestion after finishing another video. I do share NPR text links here regularly, but only when the text version is what I run into. This is somewhat the difference between being paid to provide news and volunteering. But I get where you're coming from.
Maybe I just put too much thought into this because I'm always scrolling Beehaw to avoid work ๐
Thank you for your service.
I feel a lot more hope from Mamdani than I did from Obama -- I love that the capitalist class is so upset by him; it shows what is wrong with the DNC.
It's definitely promising. I just meant that he has that gift of oratory. The next couple of cycles could be interesting, as the DNC won't abandon money, even as more and more voters, especially younger ones, see no representation across the country.
