Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Reality' is a notion that journalists take for granted.
The media doesn't always reflect reality.
In a way, film and television are in the same sort of traumatic trance that print journalism is. The technology has outpaced our comprehension of its implications.
The reporting of news has to be understood as propaganda for commodities, and events by images.
I think there's a future where the Web and print coexist and they each do things uniquely and complement each other, and we have what could be the ultimate and best-yet array of journalistic venues.
It isn't as if a writer merely records life as it unfurls. Reality does not automatically transcribe as literature; real people are not shapely, compelling characters to be harvested. Charming facts and sharp observations rarely slide seamlessly into whatever narrative is at hand.
The media is a like any other group of people. Their universe is all that matters.
People are worried about what's going to happen to journalism - and they should be. Every day, the blogosphere is getting better and print media is getting worse; you have to be an idiot not to see that.
I don't want to see the end of popular print journalism.
It is advertising and the logic of consumerism that governs the depiction of reality in the mass media.
