I think calling journalism "socially valuable" is debatable.
- ionised 7y agoHow else do would you uncover scandal and abuses of power? The tabloid shit I don't care about, but public interest journalism is something I would never want to be without. It's absolutely essential to a functioning democracy. The only reason you could possibly be against it is you don't want democracy; in which case, why are you living in one?
