My understanding (based on some podcasts I’ve heard on) is that journalism has developed journalists not being by in a physical place except at very big events is due to newspapers closing/lack of money. There simply isn’t enough funding to have a well-considered reporter report on a specific subject or region where they then are in a place and regional education to then comment when something major happens. Now national newspapers ship reporters out to major events who simply don’t have the know-how of on the ground context and therefore can come away with drastically different conclusions than the people who actually live there.
