This seems like a no true Scotsman kinda thing.

I suspect people who want to "make journalism better" and people who want to "inform the populace with 'not journalism'" are probably talking about the same thing.

(Not that I agree with this article, the "get CEOs to make people trust news" thing is bizarre)

“Making journalism better” implies some sort of smooth continuous transition to a new state, where (implicitly) the existing journalist class has not been liquidated and gets to keep their high-status credentialed writing jobs. This can’t really fix the core problem.
