Murray's verbal blather about placing the WaPo "on a stronger footing" and better positioning them for "this rapidly changing era of new technologies" sounds almost exactly like what Bari Weiss said just last week when she outlined her vision for CBS News and pretty much told everyone there who doesn't agree with it to quit. And beneath all the verbiage what it really boils down to is "we're moving in a pro-Trump direction because that's what our bosses are telling us to do, and oh, traditional journalism is dead and the facts and reliable sources and investigative journalism and all that doesn't matter anymore. You can just create your own version of reality and pretend it's the truth because, since there are no standards anymore, it doesn't really matter if what you're reporting is accurate or not."

We're literally witnessing the death of traditional journalism before our eyes. What follows will likely be endless attempts to clone or ape Fox News and "social media influencers" of very dubious backgrounds and reliability.

The Rupert Murdoch school of “journalism” has proven to be far more profitable than any traditional school of journalism could’ve imagined. And when combined with the proliferation of online “new media”—ie, propagandists—journalism as we’ve known it is dead.
