This isn't necessarily unique to tech journalism, and I highly recommend giving Flat Earth News[0] a read for a greater insight into the commoditisation of news (amongst other things), and churnalism. I guess it's more noticeable to us within tech, because HN generally aggregates a fair amount of content from TechCrunch, and Mashable, and so on, and it's not unusual to see four or five links to these things every day. A solution is to post and upvote the original source where possible, and hope it attracts more discussion than the churn does. [0] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flat-Earth-News-Award-winning-Distor... |
