The above story is a separate category of journalism, think photo-journalism as opposed to news reporting. My statement on journalistic integrity was specifically referring to the topics' discussion on news reporting journalism.
But I agree there is a type of journalism -- I think there is another name for it but I can only think of photo-journalism atm -- where creative writing, or linguistic flair, can and does contribute if done in good faith (integrity).
- RhysU 2y agoThe above story is a primary source. Later writers should quote any desired linguistic flair within their later stories, thereby properly attributing the flair to the primary source. What happens now is journalists throw around secondary and tertiary sources without attribution. It's okay to report "Bob Jones commented 'Someone is a miserable SOB'." It's not okay to report "Someone is a miserable SOB" as if it's fact not judgement. None of this is a new variant of journalism. It's just journalism and/or history practices that somehow got forgotten despite the fact that we teach these primary vs secondary source concepts and proper quoting in middle/high school in the US.
