Does the print media even remember they have a social reponsibility to the people?
Seems the more papers sell the more sensational stories become!
For years now, the ideas of mainstream newspapers have gone from once brilliant to gossipy, invasive and criminal. Fair enough the news they provide is researched by journos but most of the time stories are sensationalised to sell the paper.
It is sad to see that community newspapers seem to be flourishing because of this as they have the people in mind although they too have pages upon pages of boring advertorials. Thing is one would find interesting information about one's community by reading a community newspaper, with a mainstream newspaper, one finds only out-of-this-world, unusual, sensationalist, stuff.
