Well, you don't need to apologize for your tone, certainly. I didn't mean to be extremely annoying, but I stand by the assertion that the source of written material comes from writers. You think the "middlemen" of reporters can be cut of the deal, and sure, they can, if everyone is not only willing to do the same job that reporters do but can manage to be reasonably good at it. At risk of being extremely annoying yet again, I think you are vastly underestimating the amount of work involved.
- Nadya 11y agoI've tried to make it very clear I have a high level of respect for proper journalism and even see that form of covering a subject as a form of art. That's some pretty high praise. The problem about paying for journalism is not many people see it as a form of art. But that's just the issue with paying for journalism, I went off on a secondary topic about paying for news (more general). My argument was that Fox News and most other mainstream media covering mostly trivialities and unimportant things could be replaced entirely by following trending topics on Twitter and one would miss nothing that actually matters. Any major events would be covered by the general public.
