They're not the only ones in this situation. Statistically speaking, very few journalists come from backgrounds where they really met any poor people: https://www.nuj.org.uk/news/elitist-journalism/ > 54 per cent of the 'top hundred media professionals' had been educated at private schools, as opposed to 7 per cent of the population. There are many studies for stuff like this. And this is an example where the writer still isn't too divorced from the lower rungs of society. Contrast to: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/13/privil... > Indeed, British journalists, the supposed tribunes of the people, now hail from wealthier backgrounds than, er, bankers There is a definite disconnect here, and the effects are pretty easily seen in the papers and online news sites. |
