It's sad to look at the state of news lately. The industry as a whole seems to scrambling for viewers/reader/consumers to stay a float and in doing so I think they are starting to compromise a lot. Seeing the 24-hour news cycle churn out sensationalized story after story with more of a focus on mass appeal and speed over quality and digging to find what people really need to know makes me really sad. The news is an important establishment and seeing it reduced to what it is is very disheartening. The fact that twitter is mentioned so often and seen as a fairly credible source to me just epitomizes just how far it has slid away from what it was.
