Journalism, it strikes great terror upon evil and wields the spear of truth and justice.
Does it really...?
(Yes it does. Sometimes.)
But what is this, it seems that journalists tend to rely on external sources a lot, namely wire agencies? That is not good. To put too much faith in wire agencies without fact-checking is a deadly sin for any self-respecting journalists, so why?
Time is money, you cry!
But so is your reputation and credibility! (I cry back.)
And what is this! Media releases by PR agencies? What has the journalism industry gone to?
But alright, there are uses for PR agencies as they are useful sources for first-hand information on government facts and data but again with the over-reliance!
Don't do that.
The end.
