We can read press briefings ourselves. The only reason for reporters to exist is to dig at least a little bit deeper for truth. We've all heard about the economics of journalism, we just don't think it's acceptable.
- coliveira 6y agoSorry, but I don't think you're paying enough to deserve someone to spend the time digging for deeper truth. That's the sad reality of modern journalism in a capitalist country.
- xiphias2 6y agoI think the bigger problem is that it's too easy to copy after somebody has done the digging work, so journalists are not incentivized anymore. I tried to pay for journalism, but usually I get lower quality material than what I can read in HN comments for free.
