Week 6:Hypothetical news outlet


A hypothetical news outlet refers to an imaginary or fictionalized media organization that is created for the purpose of conceptual exploration, discussion, or illustrative scenarios. This term is often used to describe a news organization that doesn't exist in reality but is used as a placeholder or example in discussions, plans, or hypothetical situations.
