It’s undeniable that Twitter has changed—and is still changing—the face of journalism. It makes some things simpler and some things more complicated. But how is it affecting journalism on the whole? This PBS Off-Book segment gives that some thought and uncovers one deep, universal truth: Twitter is neato. [PBS Off Book]

Hasn’t Journalism been broken for a long time? You could argue that Newspaper Journalism went into decline when it had to compete with Radio and then TV which could get the story out faster. Since they couldn’t go faster they went bigger, louder and more exaggerated.
That’s quite a sweeping statement. How is journalism ‘broken’?
I accept broken is a bit strong and retract it. The standards of integrity in Journalism in both print (News International Phone tapping) and on TV (Newsnight’s unsubstantiated paedophile allegations) have taken a bit of a battering of late, but there are some places and people still doing good work.
Yeah, I’m of the opinion that alarmism, sensationalism and cynicism have largely taken over from real journalism. It seems like standards have universally dropped in recent years, and those are two of the more recent examples.
