“Real professional journalism” ain’t what it used to be.
Market forces have gutted the workforce, disincentivized long-form content, encouraged partisanship, and most importantly of all, consolidated most media under a handful of large companies.
“The Media” is not a monolith, but a substantial amount of press is owned and operated by a select few institutions.
- coolbreezetft22 4y agoPersonally, I read The Economist on a weekly basis and feel that is very good quality. Not that I think it's 100% accurate or always right (though they admit when they are wrong and put in corrections), but the writing is also good and just enjoyable to read. Like reading a novel from a good author. It also gives a good breadth of coverage even if not always super in-depth. This is a very different experience from watching cable news for example. Yet both are considered "The Media"
