Conversations With Marva: Loss of Integrity

    The biggest joke is that bloggers think they are journalists when indeed only a small percentage of bloggers are journalists. God help us if real journalist disapear there are so few of them left.

    news was different then that is for sure. I used to watch old PBS clips of Cronkite. I wonder if he was practicing in these techno advanced times how he would handle it.

    I sat down today and watched old Cronkite videos, and Peter Jennings (who I loved to watch) and felt a twinge of nostalgia. I know you must change with the times, but do we have to sacrifice the base of what journalism is for that change?

    I would hope that the answer would be no...

    I have thought about a degree in journalism.

    I agree that true journalism is dying... and fast. People believe if they can tell a story they are a journalist. It takes so much more. I've become more and more appalled at the way the news is presented. It used to be that you respected the newscasters and their craft. I'm beginning to wonder who is behind the stories these days. They are intermingling blogging styles with the local news. I'm tired of hearing so called journalists stating their opinions on a story when I want the facts.

    I also think photographers are a dying breed unless you are shooting the stars. The days of taking the family to a photographer for a family photo are being replaced with the digital age.

    It's one of the down sides of the internet, and that sad part is it hasnt hit rock bottom yet.
