I don't think it's purely economic. There was a cultural shift. Also, I'm not sure when the golden age of journalism was. There was never really an age where people att though journalism was great. Anyway, I think the cultural shift has more to do with journalists competing with everyone else (politicians, moms, whoever) directly. When a journalist tweets, it's just a tweet. I think that has eroded their sense of the professional responsibility. I don't really want to point the finger too sharply though. As I said at the start, I think a lot of media bashing is trite. Still... there is a lack of something exposing itself in this instance.
