"It IS our fault...."
Key point:
"My purpose in rebutting Farhi and Greenslade is not to beat up journalists but instead to empower them. The reason to take responsibility for the fall of journalism is to take responsibility for the fate of journalism. Who’s going to try to save it if not for journalists? We are indeed responsible for the future of journalism and we have about one minute to grab that bull by its horns."
Journalists need to start by being far more honest regarding their academic and intellectual liabilities, and adopting a stricter standard of professional ethics regarding their biases when constructing news stories.
We have several examples locally of people who could benefit from such an improvement. Those who have been paying attention know who I'm talking about.
