It's vitally important because there's a million different reasons why it doesn't matter.

@VeronicaVixen Thanks, it's from Derry, Ireland.

@DokterW The truth. Straight up. Fuck the Hollywood build up, show the process, the unravelling, the truth.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW Anyone questioning the importance of journalism should purge themselves of A Current Affair and view these shows instead.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW Perhaps if the commercial stations wanted to support investigative journalism without trying to make it ALL about ratings...

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW Shows like Four Corners and Foreign Correspondent are so important for Australia, yet the gov is hellbent on cutting the ABC.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW Yeah, they're clearly torn between wanting to be taken seriously but feeling the need to entertain. Not unusual unfortunately.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW Never let the truth get in the way of a salacious segment apparently.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW Re: Hack, these things can happen, but when they've clearly made no attempt to verify anything, it really is unforgivable.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW In hindsight I realise that episode would have really pissed you off for sure.

Misleading reporting from Ch7 during a tragedy, lax fact checks from TripleJ and shameful comments on sexual assault. @DokterW #mediawatch

#NepalEarthquake incredibly tragic. So many lives lost. Many more injured & missing. But together we can save lives: https://t.co/Hh0T72ntXv

If you ever need a 6-pack of beer ruined by placing it in a freezer and forgetting about it, I've considerable experience in this area.

Prolong the agony and displeasure. Download the app.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW I have to believe there will be a tipping point though, with opportunities for the right people with the right principles.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW Since clickbait emerged and hierarchy of news broke down, it's been a downward spiral of lax information mixed with entertainment.

[Aindréas Seán @andreasson_]

@DokterW It's exactly as you say it. Journalism's increasingly becoming an endorsement that's bought and sold. There's a split in the ranks.
