Not when you're looking for someone with wisdom/experience to contextualize the event rather than give their opinion.

- dartharva 6y agoI was talking in the labour market perspective, there simply aren't so many experienced journalists that new-age media startups can afford. Plus, I have difficulty in understanding whether an elderly's 'experience' would have a significant addition to quality of coverage in a field so unstable and ever-changing as politics apart from what standard critical writing already achieves. Aren't politics and related dynamics drastically different today, in the internet age, than those the senior, experienced editors are used to living in?
- krageon 6y ago> Aren't politics and related dynamics drastically different today The long and short of it is that no, politics are not drastically different. It's a thing of basically every generation to think the world is significantly different than what the last generation will understand. Suffice to say this is usually not true in the broad strokes, which is really what matters. If I can already have this moderating insight, imagine what someone twice (or maybe even three times) my age would be able to see. They'll have an overview of history that you (and I) in your naivety simply do not have.
