In Spain journalism is lazy, but instances of poor writing are much less common than in the anglosphere. They do clickbait, but maybe it's because the spanish language is more formal than english, you can't really bee too creative without writing something meaningless.

- dieortin 5y agoHow is spanish more formal than english? You can write in a formal way or in a less formal one, like in most languages.
- necovek 5y agoEnglish is a bit notorious for "allowing" a lot of creative play with words (like that old quote of "every word can be verbed"). Another thing that affects perceived formality is that "you" in English is both singular and plural and out-of-respect You. If you've ever done any translation between English and a foreign language, you'd notice that the appetite for such gymnastics is much less. (I think that's part of why there are so many English loanwords in other languages too, but I have no data to back it up)
