Maybe rather than a shift, it's a divergence. The Panama Papers represent classic journalistic values. It's what we want to expect: the truth uncovered. It's been a stark contrast to see news outlets blatantly ignore the Panama Papers, representing a very different set of values. Online discourse has provided a means for a growing portion of the population to see the difference and make their own choice.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoWhile the Panama Papers have been leaking away, the MSM have either made no mention at all of the Unaoil bribery scandal, or have pushed it far away from the front page. It's quite hard to find these stories without a direct link: http://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/apr/09/tory-donor-was-trusted-middleman-for-oil-firm-involved-in-bribes-inquiry http://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/apr/09/tory-donor-was-t... http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/01/authorities-monaco-raid-oil-firm-unaoil-hq-corruption-investigation http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/01/authorities-... Maybe those classic journalistic values believe that allegations of the comprehensive corruption of the oil industry just isn't all that interesting as a story.
