You have a point. I was horrified knowing there is a market to write a fake news. I took journalism class about a year ago at a university level and I was not taught to do fact-checking or journalism principles. I was only taught how to write and a very basic introduction to it. I'd say, I learned more about journalism in my high school rather than in the university.
I second the term last unicorns. Especially for those, who still hold dearly journalism principles.
So glad to hear I'm not alone out here!
