I'm inclined to agree with the article, but it's a bit of a ramble. I wish it explored what motivates of journalists to become cheerleeders. I can take guesses, but those guesses are just speculation:
guess 1: Publishers want to cultivate relations with big institutions that are the sources of their stories.
guess 2: Individual journalists enjoy the prestige of being associated with big-name institutes.
Are either of the above correct? Are there other possibilities.
- lithos 10y ago#1 reminds me a bit of what my uncle has said of his radio advertising work. Where he works far harder than needed for the first couple of runs, so that in the future similar work with the client is just a simple phone call(in either direction depending). A two salaried people working at different companies love setting up such working relationships. Especially when a lot of public facing jobs can earn large bonuses, or at least be at home with work almost writing itself.
