Here’s how journalism has changed from the past. In the past the idea was to hunt for the story and the papers would sell. Now it is about telling the reader what they want. And it is political, if you ask the wrong questions, you are no longer invited to interview. It’s about money and selling the paper. It isnt surprising that journalists no longer do their job.
