- saghm 1y agoIf the system is broken in way that disempowers the people who are good and apparently getting screwed over, it's kind of selfish to ask them to stick around and shoulder the burden to fix it for our own external benefit.
- chaps 1y agoEh, it's not entirely that simple. In the same way teachers are, some people are just compelled towards it because it's what feels "right" to them. And, just, don't forget that a lot of the people who are "sticking around" went to j-school and now have a significant amount of debt. So leaving journalism isn't exactly the cleanest option for them. Donate to your local investigative nonprofit.
- MichaelZuo 1y agoIf honest journalists are “sticking around” that would mean loaning those shady editors with ulterior motives some of their credibility, thus helping to prop the latter up. So it seems like a net negative.
- chaps 1y agoI have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
- MichaelZuo 1y agoSo then ask a question? Or don’t reply? There literally doesn’t seem to be any substance I can respond to.
- chaps 1y agoInterpret it this way please: I'm unable to understand the collection of words in your post because you're using overloaded words to describe a simplified scenario that doesn't match the reality of the world I've seen. Could you please clarify your point so that I can provide a more substantial response? Tyty.
