Excertos do texto de Paul Farhi, no mais recente número da American Journalism Review:
You’ve heard it before, from a thousand bloggers and roundtable know-it-alls: We were too slow to adapt, too complacent, too yoked to our tried-and-true editorial traditions and formulas. We could have saved ourselves, goes the refrain, if only we had been more creative and aggressive and less risk averse.
To which I can only reply: Oh, please.
(…)
Newspapers are in trouble for reasons that have almost nothing to do with newspaper journalism, and everything to do with the newspaper business. Even a paper stocked with the world’s finest editorial minds wouldn’t have a fighting chance against the economic and technological forces arrayed against the business. The critics have it exactly backward: Journalists and journalism are the victims, not the cause, of the industry’s shaken state.
Mai nada…
“Journalists and journalism are the victims, not the cause, of the industry’s shaken state.”
não concordo minimamente com esta frase e básicamente com muito do resto.
a grande procura por fontes alternativas de notícias deve-se ao facto de por e simplesmente hoje em dia não existir jornalistas e jornalismo credível, está tudo transformado em jornalismo tablóide, que pouco mais fazem que seguir a agenda dos donos.
