I just watched the news at 7, im a retired journalist so i like to check all of my pals working, you ussually watch the news?
I try not to. Mainstream journalists these days rarely distribute acutal news or current information to the public.
it is true, thats why all of the journalist have to aply for a licence either state or country wide, it is difficult with social media to have the scoop
Social media may have a lot of misinformation, but it has made the typcial media obsolute. Ideas no longer are refined or censored by editorial review. For better or for worse.
Yes, well it evolved and now is growing to be a monster since in Europe In 1556, the government of Venice first published the monthly Notizie scritte ("Written notices")
Fake news is an interesting phenomenon. The media is crying wolf about fake news while it dons its sheep's clothing.
Yes, the do it to have the population distracted, that is why when i graduated i swear to be honest and transparent, as every journalist should be
No need to worry though. New journalists interested in the ethics of reporting now have unrestricted platforms to outcompete the obsolete legacy media.
