Journalism has turned into a dictionary where news are defined in vague generalized ways without context and extensive research. News today are not about explaining and therefore informing the what, the how, and the why of news, but rather what this or that person feels about a topic. That's basically it. Context is only given to be able to later add the opinions of people who are often not experts. Journalism today dedicates no time to properly research topics and answer fundamental questions with the appropriate answers, but rather focuses on defining the topic so then it can proceed to interview people on what they feel about it. Journalism today is not journalism at all. Topics are not actually explained.

Journalism is dead lol

Thank you for this video. I have learning a lot from it. But I have a question: what happens when the fake news itself are comming from a mainstream media?

[@Snow-vo1yi]

The fake news IS coming from MSM (main stream media)

[@pugh.joseph]

That's the irony of the video.

[@k.thanuj9523]

what happens , look at present day world !!!

[@GodEmperor_]

The truly great part about the internet is how you "yourself" can find information about said topic and see how much of mainstream journalism holds up to the facts and information you've found.

In my opinion journalism is important and has the potential to connect humanity at a level that allows everybody to know everything (comprising the -ves and the +ves that comes with it). This goes to show that evolution is a spider of creation that needs journalism to unlock the knowledge of the universe as a single consciousness including all available knowledge to create utopia while considering all possibilities that can be explored regardless of their chances of being true.

[@AngloSaxon1]

If traditional journalists can work side by side with citizen journalists I think that is the way foreward.

Incredible! This content is a true masterpiece. I recently read a similar book, and it was an absolute gem. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

So is activisim

[@Peterkramer929]

THERE is no such thing in America as an independent press, unless it is in the country towns. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write his honest opinions, and if you did you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid $150.00 a week for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with-others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things-and any of you who would be so foolish as to write his honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. The business of the New York journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his race and his country for his daily bread. You know this and I know it, and what folly is this to be toasting an “Independent Press.” We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping-jacks; they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. John Swinton, 1883.
