The news has a problem: it’s boring. The solution? Make it funny. In this video, we explore the 500-year history of "Comedy Journalism." We trace the evolution of the attention economy from medieval town criers and 17th-century coffee houses to the viral tactics of Benjamin Franklin and the satire of Jon Stewart. Discover how historical figures like Mark Twain and Will Rogers used humor to bypass censorship, increase engagement, and build media empires. We also look at the modern crisis of "Pink Slime" AI journalism and how the "Newsload" model proposes a new franchise system to save local news using the oldest trick in the book: The Buffer Strategy. In this video, you will learn: -How Bartholomew the Loud invented "Sponsored Content" in 1510. -Why Coffee Houses were the "Reddit" of the 1600s. -How Benjamin Franklin invented the meme to sell papers. -The story of the Great Moon Hoax that launched the Penny Press. -Why humans are the only defense against AI-generated "Pink Slime" news. 00:00 Intro: The News Load 00:05 Bartholomew the Loud: The First Content Creator (1510) 02:17 The Coffeehouse Revolution & The Birth of Satire (1652) 03:57 Ben Franklin Invents the Meme (1754) 04:48 The Great Moon Hoax & The Penny Press (1833) 06:55 Mark Twain: Fake News Pioneer (1862) 08:27 Will Rogers vs. The Newsreel of Doom (1935) 10:04 The Jon Stewart Effect (2000s) 11:10 Fighting "Pink Slime" AI with Comedy (2018) 12:27 The Stranded Talent Problem (2020) 14:06 The Solution: The News Load Franchise LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NEWSLOAD AND OUR MISSION: Level One: https://youtu.be/O8zA5noeigs Level Two: https://youtu.be/rgDjYfAFLXY Level Three: https://youtu.be/E3CY7dj7U_s #HistoryOfMedia #SatireNews #Journalism #MarkTwain #BenFranklin #TheNewsLoad #ComedyBusiness #LocalNews #MediaFranchise #JonStewart #AttentionEconomy Learn more about The Newsload: https://www.newsload.ca/services Join the Franchise: https://www.newsload.ca/contact
