When I was employed in printing and publishing at least half of the writers and editors working today would be encouraged to find another line of work as they were being perp-walked to the employee exit.

I believe that what is different is that back in your day, investigating, fact checking, source verifying, and accuracy were important.

These days, “publishers” pull information from feeds, and figure out the best click-bait way to exploit the very limited information that they are receiving.

It’s a completely different process at it’s roots.

The old school press dug into their stories.

The new media are information parasites.
