The recent survey of the community, showed that the media has played a comparatively small role in getting people involved.
Following David Moss, I’m curious about how much mass media on EA there has actually been? Could it not just be that we are not seeing new EAs as a result of media exposure simply because there has been hardly any of it in the last few years? What are the biggest TV appearances EA has featured in recently?
Given a lack of recent mass media, it’s hard to say how many productive new EAs could result from a big mainstream media piece, and in the event they do, how long it would’ve taken for them to hear about EA otherwise. [This speaking about the English-speaking world].
Yes I saw, and it’s great! That’s a bit different to what I’m thinking of though, in that TED is more something that people actively seek out/watch.
I’m thinking in terms of pieces that reach millions of passive readers/viewers (i.e. national newspapers and TV). [Context: The EA Hotel has recently been receiving a fair few requests to do pieces of this type].
It seems from experience like the median news piece is fairly underwhelming (~0 long-term impact) but there is a small chance of very large impact, so it’s hard to get the exact expected value.
