RE: The Truth is in danger! The Death of Investigative Journalism and What We Can Do About It. {Making Steemit A Journalism Hub}
@infovore great article there and well-cited. I am the PhD dropout btw. Just a few cents what i think:- I believe that most journalists are in fact not driven by money, but a sense of duty to uncover and show to outside world the ugly truth. Steemit has a high sign up rate and the potential REACH outside to the world is high. So it is in fact, a great platform to raise awareness without any barriers and costs.
Yeah @coinbitgold . I know. I read your article the other day and it was fantastic.
I believe that most journalists are in fact not driven by money, but a sense of duty to uncover and show to outside world the ugly truth. That would be super awesome. So in a way, Steemit could just serve as a means to keep body and soul together. And they can do away with media houses that want them to sell their soul for peanuts. Would love to hear a journalist view on your thought.
I have bad memories about journalists
My mother died while covering the news T_T

@infovore Thanks :-)
I am not a journalist unless you can count a school magazine reporter lol
And so i believe journalists' decision to use steemit or not will greatly depends on few things:
If their news can spread faster than other social media and media houses, then i believe besides money, this can be a huge motivator for them.
