> Do you think the fact that some journalists maliciously crop social media posts means that we should replace the institutional model with a "Github" model of professional journalists? No, I definitely don't. I think techies who think they've got all the answers for how to fix journalism are hubristic, but I also think journalists who think all is well with their industry need to get off their high horse and do some introspection too. I think both industries are in a crisis, and it happens that the two crises have nontrivial overlap; the tools the tech industry has been creating over the past 15 or so years have been exacerbating the problems in journalism. So no, I definitely don't think the tech industry is situated to solve the problems with journalism; judging by past performance the tech industry has a deleterious effect on journalism and I don't foresee this changing soon. I don't know how to fix journalism, nor do I know how to fix the tech industry.
