Still over my head......must have missed something, again.
“legit” journoz never do their jobs —they ferret out stories which they proceed to NOT report.
The “uncool” sorta journoz are doing their jobs FOR them.
Reporting will always thrive —it will either be done by those trained at great cost at lofty institutions or instead it will be done by the untrained dregs of society.
But it will ALWAYS thrive, one way or the other.
