RE: The Truth is in danger! The Death of Investigative Journalism and What We Can Do About It. {Making Steemit A Journalism Hub}

Yeah @coinbitgold . I know. I read your article the other day and it was fantastic.

I believe that most journalists are in fact not driven by money, but a sense of duty to uncover and show to outside world the ugly truth. That would be super awesome. So in a way, Steemit could just serve as a means to keep body and soul together. And they can do away with media houses that want them to sell their soul for peanuts. Would love to hear a journalist view on your thought.

@infovore Thanks :-)
I am not a journalist unless you can count a school magazine reporter lol
And so i believe journalists' decision to use steemit or not will greatly depends on few things:

• the speed of information flow within communities from steemit to the ouside world
• if their targeted community is already in steemit.
  If their news can spread faster than other social media and media houses, then i believe besides money, this can be a huge motivator for them.
