Team-Forest-Tree-Dog:
Smashing your way into our hearts one skylight at a time

Just thought I’d mention Flat Earth News as a great book to read about the determination of the UK media. It essentially lays out how every portion of the UK media has shrunk massively, with the number of journalists decreasing, local news organisations dying, the amount of print that each journalist needs to produce increasing, etc contributing to a situation where there is little genuine journalism it much regurgitating of AP articles and opinion pieces.

Although I don’t believe it says so explicitly, I think the obvious conclusion is that journalism is fairly incompatible with capitalism if the point of jour alien is to produce relevant truthful news about the world.
