I'm not talking about the rest of this site, I'm talking about journalism in particular, and how it changed compared to 1-2 decades ago. There's a huge difference between startup blog posts (which are for example other items posted here) and journalism, as a fourth constitutional force: Responsible for educating the people in an objective and truthful way, so they can form their own opinions, express their ideas, and thus participate in politics (by that I do't mean working in Washington. Lookup Habermas). In short, journalism should rinse democracy.

I fear that this function (actually the only relevant function that journalism enjoys, imho) is less and less fulfilled. I just took the doubts I have about this article as an example of that.

A working journalistic system shouldn't have to fear really hard economic pressure, otherwise it can't work correctly anymore. This relates to all other contents on this site as well, as long as they're journalistic and not public relations.
