Dint know u r journalist? How come you are so pesimistic?
This means fewer stories about Sudan and Somalia and more about Paris and Britney, as young rich kids' isolation and ADHD fuel entertainment outlets' profits. It's depressing. Oh, and reality TV will continue to shoot for the lowest common denominator, all while continuing to contribute to a writers shortage (Hollywood loves the reality TV formula, for its cheap writing & production costs). All of these things make a certain writer wish he'd gone to law school, after all... (less/fewer edit...) [Edited 1/7/07 23:38pm] I'm not pessimistic. I'm realistic. I've seen corporate takeovers of newspapers and TV channels severely affect my friends in the industry. The label of the "liberal media" gets thrown around so much, that one would believe it to actually exist. In truth, the chief executives who own most news outlets are conservatives who care only for profit margins and who have been resorting to layoffs and buyouts in much of the newspaper industry for the past decade -- all to achieve those profit margins. So, in recent years, I've seen many of my talented, energetic friends get fired or laid off -- all to satisfy some corporate, irrational greed. I'm not pessimistic. I'm realistic. Because I saw much of this before I made my leap from the news industry. And, because I still have close interaction with my journalist friends who remain in the industry. It's not a pretty picture. | |
