> Modern journalistic tack is to write sensationalist scare stories targeted at the least common denominator moron, as they'll be the most outraged and hang on every update. I don't think it's a coincidence that most modern journalism isn't worth reading, IMHO. > Or you do, but it's just decades old from a time when the goal was to inform and not just get page views? It's not decades old - I just like to think we did a good job of writing informative pieces instead of sensationalist nonsense. At least, we made a very, very dedicated effort to follow journalistic ethics - I'll let others be the judge on how well we succeeded. :-)
