Do You Think the Commercial Media Is Corrupt? Unfair? Biased?

20. No, journalism is not gone.

It's still operating, but you're not going to see it unless you look for it and ignore all the opinion writing and talking heads.

Read the news section of any major newspaper. You'll find news there, written by journalists. They're still out there, but you're watching and reading something else. The same thing applies to local and broadcast network news. Skip the opinion and see the reporting. The news is still being gathered and reported, but you're watching something else.

Journalism is one of the poorest-paying jobs there is for the education required to work as a journalist. The news gatherers and reporters are mostly anonymous. It is only when you become a pundit, an editorial writer, or a talking head on television that you get paid well. But, the journalists are still there and still doing what they've always done. You just don't know who they are, because they're not celebrities.
