Good journalism is more than just fact regurgitation.
- huffmsa 7y agoCorrect. It's the distillation of those facts into something digestible, and provide a bit of an angle to it. It is certainly not the breathless pearl clutching which has taken over the NYT and WaPo (amongst others).
- jessriedel 7y agoThat is not a good defense of covertly editorializing in an opinion piece. Great journalism is more than just fact regurgitation. But most modern journalism would be improved if it was replaced with fact regurgitation because most journalists cannot distinguish between their opinion and objective beyond-the-facts reporting.
- darkpuma 7y agoGood journalism is also more than just low-key denigrating a man for being a mechanical engineer with an M.B.A.
