I don't really care about the goal I care about the reason why journalism should exist. It used to exist because we didn't have other means to get to this information and a lot of issues were so complicated and the access to those who could explain them limited. These days, this is all open on the platform. There are experts far better than the ones your local newspaper can get a hold of, there are people far closer to the issues than journalist who help expose much of the corruption. Today most things leave a digital trail behind it that hackers far smarter than any investigative journalist can be, get access to. I would say in many ways journalism have been freed from it's former obligations. Not because it isn't good enough but because it isn't needed anymore.
