Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on the interaction of events, facts, ideas, and people that are the "news of the day" and that informs society to at least some degree of accuracy.

Gosh, I dunno. Couldn’t have anything to do with the subject matter, maybe?

It's also the reporting of facts and the fact is that I was told in school that is where it came from, which is what I originally said. I didn't scour book and the internet over every claim every teacher said. My bad. But yes they still taught research? What a crazy thing to ask

It's also about accepting new information when you're wrong. Which I have done. But you didn't have to come at it the way you did? You can inform someone they are wrong without being hostile about it. How hard is it to say "hey actually that is incorrect" and then post snopes without being a dick?That's reddit behavior.

Edit: thought I was replying to person who corrected me

It’s ok. I was being a bit of a dick. Though I was aiming for a more sarcastic/funny(?) dick than a pedantic one. I get you though.Assuming you are of the age before the internet, we were taught long ago that authority figures were right and kids/students were wrong, and we grew into this accepting things at face value culture. Before the internet, we kind of had to as we had very little available to us (as kids) to counter what we were told.

Anyway, that aside, back to the sarcastic dick thing, I was mostly poking at journalism as a whole. Not specifically you.

But yeah, it’s all good.

Sorry I also replied to that when I woke up in the middle of the night to pee, so I wasn't fully there. Not coherent enough to pick up on any sarcasm for sure.

But it was during the internet but more in the advice animals dumb meme era. But I mainly majored in that to get my foot in the door other places. You'd be surprised, every class in every degree was reinforcing old school ethics and hammering the 24 hour networks. It was all about how to report facts without bias. Easy to make fun of now bc journalism kneels to capital but it was nothing to mock. Except my history of mass media professor I guess.

But I wasn't cut out for office work either way so now I'm a truck driver lmfao
