There's almost zero shoe-leather ground truth reporting in any of those places. Is YouTube going to send a foreign correspondent to Crimea? Are podcasters going to start attending the mayor's press conferences?
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoAgree. But there are people who report from within Crimea who aren’t outside journalists visiting as well. The internet creates lots of access. And I guess I am separating the collection of facts, often by people like AP, from the rest of journalism, which to me has devolved into activism.
