Why Our Society Needs Real Journalists

I'll agree that there is probably no room for printed newspapers in the future. I enjoy them, but also realize it's simply not practical. My point is that whatever the actual tools are for disseminating information, we would benefit from having true news organizations. Even today's newspaper reporters have to produce Internet material, and most are pressured to meet hour-by-hour deadlines that leave little room for in depth reporting or careful article development or editing. Certainly little room for investigative journalism.
