WIKILEAKS JOURNALISM?

Files under General | Dec 15th

Last Sunday the British press had the same picture, this time “leaked” not by Wikileaks but by the PR office of the Royals.

As we are in the full swing of the “wikileaks journalism” my only concern is this:

Do we really need newsrooms?

Or what we need are just paginators?

It seems that others are doing the real job for us.

And, please, don’t tell me that it’s very hard work to double-check the “leaks” from others.

Sorry but we are not in the “recording” news business.

Journalism is about “finding” the news not just “releasing” and “decorating” the news.

Sorry to be cranky, but this is they way I see it, and I am starting to be feed up with all these heroic and hard working “cablegate” presenters.
