This is a bold statement. I think its an untrue statement too. Sure, the main stream media may be a giant dumpster fire. However, there are more journalists then ever doing extremely fantastic work. Just because most people don't see them or read about them doesn't mean Journalism is at its lowest ever point.
Allow me to provide just 3 of the countless example of fantastic journalism that still exists today:
- Many of the journalists covering the Portland protests literally risked life and limb to uncover policing abuses.
- Data journalists at the Covid Tracking Project were compiling and producing such high quality data that governments were using them to forecast local covid health trends.
