Journalists used to speak to sources and collate a point of view. Now even the TV channels literally screenshot the tweet and display it. So lazy and a bugbear of mine. If I wanted to see a Twitter feed, I'd just to read Twitter.
Journalism is definitely going downhill. All news organizations are hurting for money and cutting to the bone. Local newspapers are dying, and television news is getting worse. I don’t think it’s laziness, it’s just that they can’t afford real journalism any more.
