Ideas and Concepts:
On changes in the journalism industry in the past three decades, via tonight's Fake News, Facts, and Alternative Facts class:
"News is still in demand. The news model isn't broken, but the news business model is. The advertising that used to support three or four hundred staffers in a news room is gone. It's gone to the web. In fact, it's now parsed in such small numbers that even news on the web typically cannot drive enough ad revenue to support the kinds of organizations we became accustomed to seeing.
Within the past ten years, the number of people working for daily newspapers in the United States has fallen by half.
A professional journalist doesn't just throw something up on the web. The job of a journalist is a time consuming effort to keep on top of local affairs, national affairs, and international affairs.
There used to be five levels of editing. Now in some news organizations there is no editing. Today in many organizations, single reporters are going straight to the web with stories that haven't been checked, haven't been read, haven't been questioned, haven't been challenged.
When you think of editing as quality control, it is gone now in many news reporting organizations. If you are lucky, there are one level of editing, maybe two."

An argument for buying news on paper, via tonight's Fake News, Facts, and Alternative Facts class: "The dirty little secret in journalism is that the website that feeds you your news only pays about 20% or less of the revenue that keeps a news organization going. Newspapers still rely on paper for about 80% of their revenue."
Upheavals in journalism, via tonight's Fake News, Facts, and Alternative Facts class:
"Journalists used to be called gate-keepers. It was a monopoly. You couldn't really get your message out unless a reporter wrote it and it was published in a newspaper.
Today, that gate-keeper function is gone. It's been erased by the digital world, so that now anyone with a computer can look like a journalist.
But that doesn't mean they're thinking like a journalist or acting like a journalist. Journalism is not the process of typing words and publishing them. It's the discipline of being analytical and critical of the subject being investigated, of checking facts and making sure they're reliable before anyone sees them."
