Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't trust a lot of journalists.
There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.
Journalists are in the same madly rocking boat as diplomats and statesmen. Like them, when the Cold War ended, they looked for a new world order and found a new world disorder. If making and conducting foreign policy in today's turbulent environment is difficult, so is practicing journalism.
Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody.
The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was - by the public.
We're all bloggers and punks and rebels with cameras. There is absolutely no respect for career journalists anymore.
The dirty little secret of journalism is that it really isn't a profession, it's a craft. All you need is a telephone and a conscience and you're all set.
Look, everybody in journalism has a reputation of sorts.
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.
Some of our best journalists take themselves even more seriously than the politicians they write about.
