Largely used? A scan through my local paper, and frankly most of my experience, is that journalism is largely used to report the news. I'm not going to wade in on the moral debate here, but I count among the new stories in the first few pages today:
3 stories about a major storm that came through last night
1 story about changes to unemployment rules
1 story about a major conference being canceled due to travel restrictions
2 crime stories
- wwright 6y ago"Largely" probably was the wrong word. The usage I describe will probably always be a minority, but my assumption is that it's been a relatively constant minority since journalism started. There's always an incentive to demonize and vilify someone somewhere.
- agentdrtran 6y agoLocal papers have had their already low budgets gutted and do not have the resources for in-depth investigative reporting.
- baddox 6y agoSurely a scan through the NYT is also not largely condemnations of individuals.
