Not just credibility. There are multiple kinds of journalism. There's observe something and report it....
... but there's also long, hard, investigative journalism which means tracking multiple complex stories for sometimes years, issuing freedom of information requests, developing contacts in key places etc.
Admittedly journalists have become weaker watchdogs than ever before, perhaps because the media business has made it difficult to tell real hard stories from random shock-value crap by giving everything a shock value edge to keep selling... And perhaps this is what needs to be fixed.
