To be fair: Most so called journalists take their stuff from social media these days. Or at least get their ideas from there. They read Reddit and RealGm in the NBAs case.

This is most certainly not true. Real journalists still get stories from within the org, from players, or sources. Your "so called journalists" are bloggers and that's a different breed. It's hard to differentiate nowadays because the latter have taken over the news cycle.

Online Media does not have much journalism left. You are from Germany as well right? Most stuff is from agencies or opinion pieces. 


That's why I said so called journalists instead of journalists they were supposed to be.

Many opinion pieces aren't flagged as these anymore even though it's bad conduct not to. Rarely articles contrast different positions but drive just one. It's become manipulative and feeding to the masses. It has become Infotainment in most cases.

"Real" journalists have a hard time fighting for recognition and position. 

Even science has become about story telling. This age is just whack.

And yes it's just my subjective impression which I don't back up with sources and data.

I might be totally wrong here.
