The whole point of journalism is to filter information by relevance or value, validate it for accuracy, and present it to the audience.
"Regurgitating" press releases has sadly become the norm for many outlets, but it trivializes the whole existence of news media.
- coliveira 6y agoYou have a misunderstanding about "validate it for accuracy". From the point of view of journalism, this validation only means that you're reporting that a statement was really made by someone, or that a fact occurred as the journalist saw it happening. It doesn't mean that the journalist will validate experiments, or investigate statements made by someone else.
