When i use Google news , there's so much waste in web journalism: a million journalists rewriting the same article, and often a useless and low quality article, at that.
I agree. It’s really old fashioned supply and demand. When the price drops below the price of providing something, you get a shortage. We need a shortage of some of the nonsense that passes for “news” these days!
In the heyday of the wires, Reuters, AP and to a lesser extent UPI and AFP were the syndicated news sources of choice – now every “digital marketing” intern from here to Jakarta suddenly is their own “wire” service. I am all for diverse reporting, but the same story written 800 different ways at a quality approaching trained monkeys on typewriters – I’m kind of over it.
So maybe there's a better way.
