Tools of the Trade (read description)

Once upon a time, the job of a reporter was to objectively report the events of the day. Reporters took pride in remaining neutral and presenting an unbiased perspective. Armed with a camera and notebook, they meticulously recorded details in the field. Back in the bustling newsroom, they would hammer out their stories on typewriters, the clatter of keys echoing through the hazy, smoke-filled room. These stories then passed through a chain of editors at the newspaper before the latest issue rolled off the presses.

 

Contrast this with today's landscape of citizen journalism, where information is often gathered from the social media posts of biased and untrained bystanders. With an abundance of online news services vying for clicks, sensationalized headlines have become the norm. The era of objective news seems to be behind us, leaving us with the challenge of discerning the truth amidst a flood of information.
