The CSD, which stands for Communications Standards Division, has issued a statement in response to recent claims that legacy media has short-term memory. The statement clarifies that the ‘L’ in ‘legacy media’ does not stand for ‘long-term memory.’
This clarification comes amid growing debates about the role and reliability of traditional media outlets in today’s rapidly changing information landscape. Critics argue that legacy media organizations often prioritize short-term sensationalism over long-term journalistic integrity. The CSD’s statement seeks to address these concerns by providing a factual correction to the common misconception about the term ‘legacy media.’ The division emphasized that its primary role is to ensure communication standards are met and to uphold the integrity of media platforms.
