A former child star who was in one movie franchise that you saw as a kid is arrested 30 years later and thought to be on meth. He hasn't had an acting credit in 12 years. Should it be news? Should it be news for niche entertainment sites? Should it be news for mainstream sites?

Replying to @mccanner
People want to read about it and media companies want to make money. So I guess the questions you’re asking are really 1) should journalism be done for profit? and 2) should journalists be allowed to publish public records? The answer to both is probably Yes, so here we are.

Replying to @Alexihkal
neither of those are the questions i'm asking actually! I'm interested in who does the telling, and what audience they serve. Lumping all 'media companies' into one is a nonstarter.
