Le journalisme est important. Les journalistes devraient commencer à agir comme s’ils y croyaient
Columbia Journalism ReviewA deep insecurity now haunts the profession. The devaluation of journalism is about more than just the corrosive write-for-free ethos that took hold over the last decade, as the business model broke down. Journalism lost its virtual monopoly as the arbiter of the public conversation, and with it a bit of its swagger. This shift brought plenty of good along with the bad, but journalists who had been inspired to enter the field by Walter Cronkite and Woodward & Bernstein found themselves derided as the “msm,” shorthand for so last century. We have internalized, to varying degrees, the idea that maybe what we do doesn’t matter all that much.
