    Ok. So journalistically, the key points to get across here are:

    • Tidal is changing its subscriptions plans
    • They are now cheaper
    • That’s pretty unique since literally everyone else on the planet is increasing prices, not lowering them

    How would you have reported the news? Would you have done something differently?

        Yes, it is. It may not be interesting to you, but it is (as others said) noteworthy when a company bucks the trend of the industry.

        This type of story is business journalism — it’s not world news or politics, but it’s still news. And the article isn’t as rosy as the headline — they are still upcharging for the HiFi service if you used the DJ Integration feature (no idea what this is, I don’t use Tidal), and they’re axing military and first responder discounts.

          Nothing can make it news.

          There is no presentation that can turn an article about a price drop into anything but an ad.

            What about a price hike? If Netflix or Spotify increased their prices, would that be news?

              Yes because things are only allowed to ever be bad.

      I would not have reported this advertisement as news. The thing I would have done differently is not be a shill.
