Analysis / Bias
Diggit Magazine exhibits a progressive academic editorial stance, focusing on digital culture, post-colonial critique, media literacy, and political discourse.
Key examples include:
- “AI and Humanity” explores how AI reshapes human identity, ethics, and autonomy, blending critical theory with technological awareness.
- “Decolonizing Globalization” argues for viewing migration through the lens of environmental and colonial justice, reflecting strong progressive-left framing.
- “How Data Activists Are Working Against the Current Architecture of Surveillance Capitalism” critiques the dominance of big tech, drawing from academic theory and data activism literature.
All articles are well-cited, include author names and credentials, and avoid clickbait or emotional framing. The platform functions more like a hybrid academic journal than a traditional news site.
