Equal? I find that blog posts by domain experts are usually better than articles on the same subject by professional journalists.
They were nonce domain experts that we needed when news flowed through a narrow "channel" of print and broadcast. It was sort of like reusing a variable. Now we can have actual domain experts.
This is true but investigative journalists are still critical to discover ‘secrets’ - information that people have an incentive to not release
I'd say that makes them domain experts on the matter. The best journalistic pieces I've seen are when a journalist deep dove into an obscure field, came out a semi-expert and wrote an introduction to the thing so people can get up to speed more easily then before.
Jan 6th - Wall Street Journal started reporting about this coronavirus https://www.wsj.com/articles/health-officials-work-to-solve-chinas-mystery-virus-outbreak-11578308757 … Feb 4th - WSJ Op-Ed pagehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/stop-a-u-s-coronavirus-outbreak-before-it-starts-11580859525 …
That seems like a good article. But it was written by domain experts, not journalists. And it would arguably have been better if they'd published it as an ordinary blog post, since in the WSJ it's hidden from most people by a paywall.
Domain experts are far preferable. I can't count the times when I've read articles on a subject I know well and been shocked at how wrong the journalist understood the subject matter. The downside of no editors, is that it can be hard for the public to distinguish signal v noise.
