I think in a round about way that "the public doing your job for you" is actually the fucking definition of journalism! I don't know if I need to explain that further or if it makes sense on its own. But I'm thinking along the lines of -- Journalists report the story, they don't make the story. The public, by reading their story, does the "job" of turning hard-hitting reporting into justice. Not the news organization itself.
