If it wasn’t apparent in the recent article I wrote on the television show “The Newsroom,” let’s just say that I have a strong fear that we are letting technological advancements hurt our true quest for knowledge. This is why I was happy to see John Oliver talk about it last night in a piece appropriately titled, “JOURNALISM.”
In the segment he discusses how we have led our local newspapers to strive less for researched pieces with true journalistic integrity and more to focus on how many clicks a cheesy article can get. The piece was perfect, so rather than going on about it, just click the video and watch it.
