Hey, hey, hey, hey! Journalism is still needed to report information. You need journalism. Yes, it has not been the same as years past, but you need them.
We need the press, not “journalism”. The press is mentioned in the First Amendment; “journalism” is not.
WTH good is in formation if you don’t trust the source?
Where would we be without Dan Rather?
To me the distinction between a reporter and a journalist is like the difference between an illustrator and an arteest, or a researcher and a Scienteest. Norman Mailer was, in his own words, an illustrator, Andres Serrano was a self-proclaimed arteest. Richard Feynman was a researcher, Michael Mann is a Scienteest, and Dan Rather is a journalist.
