Not quite, because reputable journalistic entities do it in non-web formats. NPR as much as I like it is a classic offender here. A lot of their segments revolve around individual experiences, which in a lot of ways is a good thing. On the other hand, those personal experiences are just that: personal. Sometimes it seems like they're interviewing someone with an experience that is extremely unique and unlikely to happen to anyone else. Another scenario I see played out a lot is that they're interviewing someone who is struggling with a social issue that seems pretty obviously resolvable to most listeners. But it's like, that doesn't really matter, because there's no compelling story to tell without that struggle.
