> Sometimes, when I'm reading random articles (like this one), I'm struck with the feeling that most journalists inhabit the same tiny, tiny world. This isn't really a random article, though. It's a link delivered to you on the front page of a social media network you frequent (Hacker News). Anything that gets posted here and collects enough upvotes is pre-filtered to match the world that this audience inhabits. That said, IMO there is a growing problem in the journalism world with journalists spending too much time on Twitter. A lot of online journalism feels like someone who spends all day on Twitter noticed something quickly increasing in popularity and then rushed to write an article about it.
