| Why I don’t like journalists working for “solid”
news agencies. Boris Brahman July 28 2001 I don’t like journalists who work for “solid” news agencies, like “The New York Times”, “BBC”, “Haaretz”, etc. Why only “solid” – because these agencies declare themselves as independent truth tellers, while they are actually businesses trying to make money in shortest terms and at any cost. They depend on our will to buy the product, the newspaper, like toothpaste producers do. Therefore they are writing and trying to sell us what they believe we would like to read. My question is simple: “If a newspaper writes what I want to read, maybe I can write for myself?” Isn’t it a kind of absurd? As the newspaper is a business, the journalists must produce best-selling products: they can write fast, use non-reliable information, and even lie in order to create the product. Moreover they have to please companies – the sources of advertisements, and politicians – sources of sensations. This way the journalists became: a. Shallow and swift writers b. Slaves of public wishes c. Servants of the businesses d. Carriers and casters of political opinions of the politicians. So, how we can hope to get the truth and deep non-engaged analysis of problems from them. It’s true that a newspaper must be a business, since it must pay to it’s workers and contractors. The point is that the popularity of a “solid” newspaper must be based on telling of full and usually bitter truth, give a deep and unengaged analysis of the problems and defend the principles that our civilization based on. [For the list see the Bible] I’m sure that this newspaper will have readers, and therefore it can also print ads in order to make the business more successful. Again the advertisements must remain only supplementary part of the business. P.s. I don’t have any problem with “yellow” newspapers. They are designed to dig for us sensations, rumors, and fried facts. Therefore there is no problem with a “yellow” journalism |
