Binary models are the things that capture our attention and and how much attention we give these models.
There are hot and cold mediums.
Hot mediums are the things that require all of our attention. For example, a book is a hot medium because we must focus on the words to fully comprehend the idea.
A cold medium could be listening to music because it doesn't hold all of our attention so it allows people to multitask.
The elitist and populist news categories separate news that is important and news that is entertaining. Populist news attracts people looking for gossip or entertaining news. It isn't necessarily important in a way that it would affect people's lives.
Elitist news is the type of news that will affect people. Elitist news is not interested in keeping people entertained. I think that the world needs more elitist news sources. People get so wrapped up in news that isn't important (i.e. The Kardashians) there are so many newsworthy topics that don't get as much international attention because we are so wrapped up in what our favorite celebrities are doing.
