How Adam Penenberg Has Legitimised New, New, New Journalism. Again.:
"What you are arguing here, and I agree with you, is that the old newspaper model has a vested interest in protecting the corporations that are their major source of revenue. They have also become lazy and incompetent as they often have local monopolies on the news, and prior to the growth of online media, faced little competition.
Today, more and more of what makes up an issue of a local newspaper is syndicated. The few local reporters remaining are more likely to churn out entertainment and gossip stories, as they are easier to write, require no real research, and are popular with readers (while dumbing them down at the same time). Real investigative journalism requires work, investigation and guts - attributes lacking in most mainstream media today."
