The Death of Journalism

Look at the headlines, a shame at what the general public is concerned with, receipes, celebrity gossip and scams to get rich.

What happened to issues that matters, economy, public safety, public service, political incompetence?

The passing of great journalists also saw the loss of another great writer and observer. Onew who saw the world of the pain and victories, not the bling and red carpet awards.

News should matter, substantial information should be the conversation at the water cooler.
News that can make a change should be the headlines, not someone's change of hairstyle.

Our next generation is wired, unfortunately not to the right material that matters. With this lost connection is the dimish of simple achievements that matters, honor, respect and valour.

More rant to come.
