Yeah I didnt want to work all hours to get paid peanuts to write dishonest and misleading titles to articles with no substance or that rely more on getting factually dubious information out quickly than properly verifying it.
I know I'm so dramatic :D
10 ways millennials killed journalism (and that's a good thing)
the left and the right seem to hate mainstream media equally lol
its kinda funny cuz the media employ these goofball buzz tactics to remain profitable/just continue to exist at all, but everyone largely hates the way we present 'the news' these days to some degree, yet these tactics keep being used because they are what actually get people to engage with the medium & their ads so despite being hated they in essence do actually work.

I guess it depends on the paper. I made my own headlines. But I suppose I also put the paper together.
Yeah because when you're starting out that works. Or I could change my major and do something that made me happier. Idk why you're the one doling out life advice Im doing pretty okay n_u

unfortunately it's just not enough to have one or a few good journalists in a sea of trashy idiots
responsible journalism has to be a collective effort with high standards that everyone abides by, because

ya
we know for a
fact that humans are highly susceptible to propaganda and yellow journalism, and it has gotten many a nation in trouble before (most famously germany lol)
so it is at least in part mostly everyone's fault, but the onus of responsibility is largely on the person presenting the information, especially if they're doing it professionally
america has resolved or at least greatly mitigated issues with yellow journalism in the past, but what's particularly problematic today is it's yellow
partisan journalism (or at least perceived that way, and really there is some truth to that), and that might be a tougher issue to reign in lol smithicide;
Plus anyone can put together a website and distribute information whereas in the past making information or disinformation widely available was much more difficult

r*ssia especially takes great advantage of this awdood;
which is particularly sad because it's such a wonderful privilege that gives everyone the ability to speak freely, but it's also extremely easy to abuse lol
yellow journalism is basically deliberately exploiting a known weakness of human cognition, and i think that's deplorable
wtf yellow journalism was easier in the past. now you can just google to fact check, back then u didnt have those sources in ur home.

You had to wait for new issues though.
Now news is constantly updated through your computer and phone, free of charge. Real people don't fact check they choose what they want to believe n_u
Plus with so much more competition than in the past it creates more of a necessity to be the first out with a story or to use some sensationalist headline to grab attention in the sea of "news"
google is on every phone for free too. it's much easier to combat y-journalism than yesteryears + alot of places have comment sections or posted on Twitter where u can redpill ppl outta Yella jarnalism.

for better or worse, it's now also extremely easy to use your free google access on your phone to search for 'proof gluten autism', 'study shows global warming hoax', 'reasons illegal immigration good thing', 'gmos bad', 'proof birth certificate fake', 'why ukraine deserved it' etc., pick the first result that agrees with you, and convince yourself you've outsmarted all the experts lol
google may be free and easily accessible, but knowing how to separate real valid evidence from the uneducated mommy fear blog of the minute, alex jones, or brainless editorials on cuckington post is an extremely rare skill
that's why we rely on intelligent, well-educated, unbiased, ethical journalists to do it for us, but the journalism industry is increasingly abusing that authority to peddle complete shite for a quick buck
as a consequence, the news media has utterly destroyed its own credibility, and now anyone can get away with dismissing any story irrespective of its authenticity as "fake news" if it happens to be inconvenient to them, and the whole population is massively less informed despite being quite convinced it knows everything
And that's a bad thing.
Ads truly ruin everything
