      That tweet (by @paulg) may encapsulate the tech industry's cheerleader view of journalism better than anything I've seen.https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/909115013255774208 …

      Did you see the succeeding tweet as well? Surely you would not say journalism is nothing more than questioning power...

          You mean the preceding one? If you'd said yes, that's one role, and here's another, I would have agreed with you.

          OK, that's closer, but speaking truth to power is more than pointing out the abuses of power. Many roles for journalism; those are 2.

          Questioning power and afflicting the comfortable are key parts of journalism. Has been since the days of Ida Tarbell and Ida B. Wells.

          The only agenda for journalism is to report the facts. The facts have to lead to a question of behaviour of those in power. Cart b4 horse.

          No kidding. Journalists occasionally question power, WHEN THEY REPORT FSCTS THAT SHOW POWER IS BEING ABUSED, you pinheads.
