Journalism, spooked by rumors of its own obsolescence, has stopped believing in itself. Groans of doom alternate with panicked happy talk.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All of journalism is a shrinking art. So much of it is hype. The O.J. Simpson story is a landmark in the decline of journalism.
In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it's reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure.
More and more, journalism seems to have hopped out of Truth's pocket and crept into another.
A career in journalism suddenly lost its appeal.
Journalism is in fact history on the run.
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
There is a long history of newspapers being doomed. They were doomed by radio. They were doomed by television. They were probably doomed by the telegraph way back when.
I can't think in terms of journalism without thinking in terms of political ends. Unless there's been a reaction, there's been no journalism. It's cause and effect.
God, newspapers have been making up stories forever. This kind of trifling and fooling around is not a function of the New Journalism.
Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.
