How does having "rockstar" experts broadcasting "their message" help unveil the stories of the unfortunate in their daily lives so that society can understand what ails it?
Journalism is not just the repeating of "expert opinions," it's supposed to be about investigation and collecting evidence and taking to normal, not expert people, about the current events affecting their lives.
Truly if we have lost that and it is replaced by "rockstars" with their own message it will be a huge loss to society.
- Sai_ 3y agoIf people only want to listen to experts, then “experts” in poverty will emerge who can honestly talk about the travails of the poor. Why do we need a journalist to act as society’s eyes when the afflicted part itself can speak? Journalism and newspapers are an emergent property of capitalism, not it’s a feature of society.
