Eh, it's not entirely that simple. In the same way teachers are, some people are just compelled towards it because it's what feels "right" to them.

And, just, don't forget that a lot of the people who are "sticking around" went to j-school and now have a significant amount of debt. So leaving journalism isn't exactly the cleanest option for them.

If honest journalists are “sticking around” that would mean loaning those shady editors with ulterior motives some of their credibility, thus helping to prop the latter up.

So it seems like a net negative.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

So then ask a question? Or don’t reply?

There literally doesn’t seem to be any substance I can respond to.

Interpret it this way please: I'm unable to understand the collection of words in your post because you're using overloaded words to describe a simplified scenario that doesn't match the reality of the world I've seen. Could you please clarify your point so that I can provide a more substantial response? Tyty.
