> What is the definition of "journalism"? Are there particular examples that you are thinking of for these 'amateurs'? How many 'amateurs' have broken stories which involved going into archives, chasing down leads, interviewing the principles involved, etc?
That's already something not many newspapers or radio stations do, their content tends to originate from press agencies, verbatim copying police reports, or from syndicate stations as John Oliver pointed out a few years back [1].
Some outlets are even worse, they do just the same but it's not even a human journalist rehashing someone else's content but some kind of AI.
