RE: Tracing the Watergate Scandal Trails | Menelusuri Jejak Skandal Watergate |

in #scandal7 years ago

I feel like investigative journalism is disappearing and that is so sad. The Watergate scandal was driven by investigative journalism. Now journalism has been more focused on opinion and articles without sources. I teach media and it is so hard to discuss integrity when everything the students see lacks it.

I have been enjoying the James O'keefe videos because it reminds me of the undercover hard hitting journalist that we've been lacking, but I question his motives. If he is bipartisan and would do the same stories against all political affiliations then he is a hero, if he picked a side and is creating videos to get people to see only that side, then he is just like everyone else.

Hopefully, the MSM will be exposed and we will get journalists who will find corruption like they did with the Watergate scandal and the world will be a better place.

I agree with you. Less coverage of current investigations due to more talking news and short stories that are facts, weak on confirmation, and lack of data. Online media, I think influenced the development of investigative journalism. People are now more happy to read a short news.

However, investigative journalism remains in demand. Amid the rapid burst of information or tsunami information, investigative journalism remains a diamond in the world of journalism.
