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).
