What's wrong with Journalism? Well it's not technology....

When it comes to journalism, the blame can be put on corporations or even the editors and news directors.  For me personally, I feel that it is the people that are entering into the field.  I have nothing bad to say about newspapers.  The reporters that right for papers are responsible for finding stories.  However, when you start talking about television...it's gets a little hazy....

This is because in most newsrooms, assignment editors and reporters seem to depend on getting stories from the newspaper.  Now this can be a good thing and a bad.  It's a good thing because it saves time in some way.  But what makes it bad is that our broadcast journalist are not as investigative as they use to be.

Now when you go to any journalism school, it is almost a guarantee that you will find a bunch of girls that want to be reporters for the glam and popularity(and that can be the same for the men, I just never met any guy like that yet).  

Now, some may argue against this, but I know 3 women that are hoping that their looks and their voice will get them far.  So as long as there are not enough serious journalist entering the field, stories will continue to be generic.  I just feel that there needs to be more journalists with an investigative edge.  I just feel that any news medium shouldn't primarily depend on others for news.
