This stance is both too philosophical and tenuous to be credible. The picture it paints is ideological and doesn't reflect reality. If you read the Times or such landmark journals, yes you will find both journalistic values and proper English. For the rest of the press, textual adequacy has gone through the drain long ago, and you'll find either hot garbage written in the spirit of decorating an advertisement brochure, or pompous logorrhea from people who love the smell of their own farts.
As any profession that involves manipulating text, journalism certainly will be impacted by generative AI. But I find it truly fascinating that, to defend their profession and value, the author would advance their superior mastery of English and wordsmithing. The real value of real journalism comes from its values, the capacity to understand what happens, drill through a topic, don't crack under intimidation, dare to ask the right questions, and report back in a factual and useful manner. Without going into the reasons or casting the blame, these have been in chambles for a while, generative AI won't change any of that.
