What comes to mind when you hear the word, "journalism"?
Unfortunately for many, it's not what it used to be which was an honorable profession. Today, the work of journalists and media outlets typically arises a response on par with political operative, biased, and worse - not trusted.
Like most of our institutions, medical - academia - food production, and countless others, Media & Journalism is going through a prolonged season of reconciliation with it's audiences. And we've earned our turn in the "refiners fire" as media outlets throughout the world have opted to follow the money and ideology rather than the story.
Both the liberal and conservative media outlets have let Americans down with the unveiling of their innate biases to appease agendas and advertisers and have been for decades. Today's outlets are even more emboldened than ever going so far as to not even attempt to conceal their bias.
For most Americans, mainstream and cable "journalists" (many of them not even degreed in journalism or even English), are a little more than entertainment hosts posing as impartial reporters of the news. They have positioned themselves as outlets for a political party and the formula has worked extremely well ... for them. But not for us as news consumers.
Senior Writer for the S. Colorado Business Forum & Digest and a 40 year, highly respected, and reputable reporter for such prominent publications as The Gazette (Colorado Springs), Wayne Heilman joins host Dirk Hobbs for a fire-side chat about the current state of journalism, and what Colorado Media Group is doing to combat poor, inaccurate and counter-productive news reporting in the industry throughout southeast Colorado and south Denver. There is hope for this profession again!
