This is the sad reality. The last bastion of true journalism now exists within NPR (at least to a degree) or outside the United States. Sensationalist media with only a surface approach to journalism has become the rule and no longer just the exception.
- elros 11y agoI think both parent and grand-parent just haven't seen Vice enough to get the full picture. While I'll grant the fact that some of their channels err on the side of fluff, I do consider the fact that they routinely send journalists to war areas (ISIS, Ukraine) and report from there, or other inhospitable places (e.g. North Korea, central Africa, the Amazon) a display of something more than just a "surface approach to journalism". Or clickbait trash :-) Edit: Tried to make my comment less harsh.

- knowaveragejoe 11y ago> The last bastion of true journalism now exists within NPR (at least to a degree) or outside the United States. As someone who works in the press industry, but you'd be forgiven for thinking this is the case. There are a number of outfits doing hard hitting, deep journalism. Bigger names include NYT, WaPo, even Bloomberg. You are right in the aspect that those sorts of articles usually aren't headline pieces in favor of the shorter form click-bait. They do themselves a disservice in that respect. But don't mistake that for absence of good journalism.
- csours 11y agoAll 3 of those you mention do have good pieces, but they really suffer (to me at least) from brand dilution. I know there is good info on the site, and some articles are superb, insightful and good sources of info, but the brand doesn't guarantee real journalism (to me).
