I lost all faith in modern journalism when I took a college course on journalism and saw how that wasn't how shit was being done in the real world anymore. Real journalism died with the 24 hour news cycle.

MODERATORS
We are about to watch the collapse of journalism in real time.
I respectfully disagree.
Conventional media may collapse, but we see very good media outlets doing a great job - ProPublica, 404media, Bellingcat, OCCRP, many local andvregional outlets, ... It could turn out to be a good sign if and when the media industry gains a more decentralized structure (the Fediverse is of great support here).
So don't subscribe to the large media papers and periodicals, support some independent smaller outlets that you like to read.
So, we agree. I should have said "We are about to witness the collapse of corporate journalism in real time."
But, let's be reasonable, that should have happened in the '80s.
