    Journalism is more than just journalists recording information. It’s also about spreading that information. It being automatic doesn’t make it any less shameful, if anything far moreso, and especially bad that they use the same font and size as the rest of the page.

      But that doesn’t reflect on the content of the story itself. Shouldn’t that be what really matters?

        No, I didn’t get to read just the story by itself. The story itself was published in a format that was unnacceptable, imo. This is a symptom of the disease plaguing the modern world, automated and profit-first systems pushing and begging for another moment of our attention at the cost of composure and ethics.

          So you’re criticizing the sad state of journalism without evaluating the actual journalism?

            I’m criticizing Journalism. Period. This is a part of journalism, how they format and ship content is a huge part of journalism.

              Not according to any dictionary I’ve ever seen.

              That’s like saying newspaper classified ads are journalism.

                  The ad part? No.

                  Hence it saying “writing for newspapers” not just newspapers.

                  Again, based on your claim, classified ads are journalism. Absolutely no one but you would even suggest such nonsense.
