Applause: A cone of silence has descended over the article since its publication. But the bell has been rung and it cannot now be unheard.
Dan Rather has already commented on the state of journalism today and we agree that independent, truth-insisting, ethical journalist are still out there. Some still work for the largest corporate media, starting with #1 Wall Street Journal, #2 New York Times, and #4 Washington Post. Others have resigned to go find freedom of the press elsewhere. Some of these journalists on Substack have a subscriber base that is much higher than local and regional press.
There's too much news and too many good reporters left and there is still the Pulitzer Prize, respected and independently run since 1917. Trump may try to buy it or shut it down; still, he has too much on his reign of terror calendar already. I'm betting the Pulitzer Prize and ethical journalists (not corrupt, not compromised) will still be here after Trump is gone.
