Yup I'm aware. But you can't really fundamentally change the core value of your company no matter how you try.
I've seen a lot of "investigative journalism" pieces written by Buzzfeed designed to be controversial. There's a fine line between "let's investigate to let the public know what they really need to know" and "let's investigate to find all the dirty secrets of some successful organization or a person so that the public can publicly shame them and feel good about themselves while doing it".
To be fair, a lot of formerly reputable journalistic sources are doing the same thing, but Buzzfeed is the spiritual leader of this trend.
Which brings back to my main point--it's not a single publication, the entire media industry is rotting and eventually there will come a crash, which is a good thing, since from the ashes will arise quality.
- hkmurakami 9y agoTrue -- good points. I remember a Hner mentioning once, "why are only conservatives willing to pay for their publications". It's an interesting point, really.
- tnzn 9y agoWhere does this claim come ? Do they actually ? If so, I'd say it has to do with average age of conservatives vs "progressives".
