Thats.. not what journalism means. I don’t know where you got that definition, but I can’t find anything similar. Processing and displaying information is a hug

Thats.. not what journalism means. I don’t know where you got that definition, but I can’t find anything similar. Processing and displaying information is a huge part of journalism - ie assessing what is truth or fiction and communicating each as such.
Wikipedia:
> A journalist is a person who gathers information in the form of text, audio or pictures, processes it into a newsworthy form and disseminates it to the public. This is called journalism.
- zmgsabst 2y agoYou’re injecting that “ie” — Wikipedia doesn’t say it as such. They’re describing collating and you’re describing evaluating.
- Dalewyn 2y agoAnd to add, evaluating is the responsibility of the reader. If you're also tasking "journalists" to evaluate for you, you aren't a reader and they aren't journalists. You're just a dumb terminal getting programs (others' opinions) installed and they are influencers.
