When I read a post like that, the thing that jumps out at me is that it kind of overlooks the actual human journalists participating in the journalism.
It focuses on this abstract notion of journalism, but that's just what we call humans engaging in that enterprise.
We do need journalists to step up and do better. I'd rather focus on that because I think it's a better way to find a solution to the problems we see than get lost in these abstractions of what journalism does or what the news does.
Journalists, be better.
