I 100% agree that there has always been sensationalism in journalism - that's nothing new. But back then the volume of print media was limited by physical factors - it was expensive to get an article in print. The new economics of media has fundamentally changed the business models. There was no print equivalent of Buzzfeed for example. My point is that the barrier to entry for shoddy journalism is so low that articles like this are flooding the medium more than ever.
