In July
The Washington Post published its massive “Top Secret America” series
painstakingly detailing the growth of the US intelligence munity after 9/11. When it ran
New York Observer editor Kyle Pope crowed (on Twitter
ironically)
“Show me the bloggers who could have done this!”
The Los Angeles Times recently mobilized a munity to action when it broke the news that top city officials in Bell
Calif.
one of the poorest cities in Los Angeles County
were raking in annual salaries ranging from $100
000 to $800
000.
Clearly
if mainstream media is an aging fighter against the ropes
it still has a few punches left to throw. But such make-a-difference journalism requires lots of time and money
something most news outlets don’t have. And it runs counter to the frantic pace of modern
Web-driven newsrooms.
So for journalism to survive in the Digital Age
it needs to be simultaneously fast-paced and substantive
snarky and thought-provoking.
Or
at the very least
it must find some middle ground where illuminating investigative pieces and Mel Gibson telephone call mash-ups can coexist.
The 24/7 newsroom has bee an intractable part of the media landscape
and the Web is the primary battleground news outlets have to win in order to stay petitive.
That has forced journalists to bee much more mindful of online traffic
which can sap morale. As a recent New York Times piece put it: “Young journalists who once dreamed of trotting the globe in pursuit of a story are instead shackled to their puters
where they try to eke out a fresh thought or be first to report even the smallest nugget of news – anything that will impress Google algorithms and draw readers their way.” But the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times pieces demonstrate that
regardless of whether the stories appear in print or online
reporters still need the time and space to be effective watchdogs – to track down sources and slog through the reams of financial disclosures
court documents
and election filings that often fill the better part of a journalist’s working life.
Right out of college
I spent several years working for a mid-size regional daily newspaper. I covered endless city and county government meetings
reported on crime and education
and learned that reporters should always carry a sensible pair of shoes in their car in case they are sent into the mountains to cover a wildfire. In my relatively short time in the newspaper trenches
I developed a profound respect for the people who do the decidedly unglamorous work of keeping government honest for little pay and even less job security.
