Pandering to the scandal hungry public is a total lack of responsible journalism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One thing I detest most about the financial press is the lack of accountability. All sorts of nonsense is said without penalty.
God, newspapers have been making up stories forever. This kind of trifling and fooling around is not a function of the New Journalism.
Audiences have become so much more sophisticated, and they're looking for different eyes and different ways to tell a story. And 'Scandal' certainly gives us the freedom to take those chances.
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.
I'm trying to correct what is wrong in journalism today: wasting users' time.
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.
Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.
One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.
The Congressional leaders set the agenda for journalism; it's not the other way around.
Journalism is not writing.
