Journalism has taken such a huge hit in recent history, to readership, to credibility. It seems a lot of our exposure is to obvious slant, disguised ads, corporate propaganda, celebrity rags...
But there are still heroic and dedicated journalists out there like Daphne Caruana Galizia, who risk and sometimes give their lives so that evil, powerful people can't hide their sins in the shadows forever.
The rich and powerful wage a daily war on people like you and me. They rob and murder us in secrecy with systems, spreadsheets, and handshakes.
That they will go this far proves they are terrified of the truth and those who deal in it. Let them have no dark corners left to flee to.
May we never forget heroes like Daphne, who risk everything to drag these monsters out into the sunlight for all to see them for the abominations they truly are.
May she rest in glorious eternal grace, and may her killers bear the fullest weight of all their sins against humanity.
Journalism is nearly dead. You can see that everyday, even here on lemmy. Everyone praising adblockers, ranting about paywalls and then shocked that journalism quality worsens. Who would go into journalism these days? And even when you already are, why put your life in danger doing investigative journalism?
Adblocking has not killed journalism. You're either an idiot or a propagandist.
Exhibit B.
