My concern isn't about Canadian-centric news; it's about news researched by journalists who are trained to seek truth.
Citizen journalism, even when well intentioned, can be a source of misinformation. When it is ill intentioned, it can be a source of disinformation. We need trained journalists in the journalism sector, both in Canada and internationally, in order to get the truths to citizens.
Journalism doesn't happen for free. The sector needs to be able to profit enough that it can hire those trained journalists and run their operations. Over the years, the sharing of journalistic content by third party providers without any compensation to the journalism sources themselves has crippled the journalism sector and made it very, very difficult for that truth seeking to occur. There needs to be some kind of compensation for the experts who are actually out there sourcing the news and helping us to be well-informed citizens.
