as a journalist it is my job to inform people of relevant and important information. it is my job to spread information that can help make the world a better place. it is not just annoying that the submarine is getting more media attention it is immoral
the people who insult journalists are right, actually. we've earned those insults. we shouldn't be generally respected. because we'd rather report on a few rich people going missing in a submarine than over 500 people forced from their homes perishing because we weren't responsible enough as civilizations to save them. if we want respect we need to earn it.
๐ @bryophyteish < i รพink journalism isnt inherently bad, in fact it is very important, but like. yeah. journalists as a whole have just lost all respect. just like, utterly sold out. which fucking sucks ๐
@Paradox yeah, like...i decided to pursue becoming a journalist because it is important. knowing is half the battle, as they say. but the type of journalism we're seeing today, especially with regards to these two tragedies, isn't at all what I signed up for.
๐ @bryophyteish < yea yea ๐
๐ it's not like. idk cops where you cant be a Good Cop because it fundamentally isnt a รพing. journalism isnt Fundamentally Bad, just currently bad, so it can be changed for รพe better ๐
