This is the third piece in an ongoing series we’ve dubbed “Whatever happened to…?”
Modern news cycles routinely highlight emerging stories with warnings of dire consequences or large societal shifts, but just as often, those stories fade away without a clear conclusion or follow up. As part of Tangle’s efforts to model more constructive journalism, we’ve launched this series as a way to shed light on the big stories we’ve forgotten about and explore why the media’s initial coverage didn’t match up with the eventual outcome.
Our first two pieces covered the 2022 baby formula shortage and the 2023 forecast of the Great Salt Lake’s imminent collapse. Today, we’re covering the 2017 repeal of net neutrality.
As always, we’d love to hear what you think about this story and series — and your ideas for future installments.
