Fake News
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching" 2 Timothy 4:3
When I started writing it was providing an alternative news source to local media that was simply producing what is known in the trade as 'churnalism'. Churnalism is not journalism. Journalism should be fact checking and investigative. Churnalism is churning out what is given to newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, etc, in the form of press releases by organisations, including political parties. Churnalism is simply regurgitated (to look unique), unchecked, press releases, or regurgitated stories already written by others, again unchecked. It is lazy and often supports lies, but is now common across media because people do not want to pay for their news, paying provides journalists. And there is a growing refusal to learn, to change, they just want to hear news and views that support their existing opinions. But the Bible commands "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching." 2 Timothy 4:2 ESV
The Decline Of Reliable News
As part of Donald Trump's decision to favour social media over traditional news his appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast drew 51 million views on YouTube in a week— more than twice the combined audience of the three main television newscasts in the USA that week. Continuing the departure for news from the traditional media of TV, radio, and print, Elon Musk told his 200 million X followers “You are the media now,”.
In the USA over the last 15 years there has been about a 37% reduction in subscribers to cable TV, over the same period print readers of news have halved there and the number of journalists employed have therefore shrunk, the story is the same across most of the world.
