We have dramatically fewer journalists now, but a great deal more news. There's more noise now but there's also more of what journalists traditionally did. It isn't great if you relied on journalism specifically to pay the bills but the rest of the system doesn't seem to have suffered too bad.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoHow are fewer journalists accomplishing more journalism? It’s a very time intensive, travel intensive task with high risks. The idea that a system is fine in which the creators have little means to earn money is crazy to me. Lots of places will just go without the deep, investigative journalism we might have benefited from in the recent past. Replaced by noise, as you say.
