investigative journalism take a listen to this
them
ever are out of his stratford regina
post what are your cake and uh...
big media company u
scrapping the investigative traveled are
responsible
going on
chancellor israel which after
you talked a little bit about the whole your cake with a it's wide
is relatively expensive it cost money to do it even move people around you gotta
bring camera crews it takes a while heated you way more hours of work to get
affair remain it video that you err you've got to do wayne more work and if
you just sitting in a studio just doing stories that's not always successful
it's not always successful i think it's obvious why it's disappointing
investigative journalism is a good thing obviously we've seen so many stories
broken by good investigative journalism but i understand why because uh... if
everybody else is going with infotainment what's the point of putting
a ton of resources into a peace that will take months to produce
run a few times indeed ten minutes long when you can do you could get so much
more out of those dollars i get again it i'd understand i just don't think i
don't think it's a good thing
uh... ivory it's uh...
uh... it's too bad because it's an are very important thing
if there was some incentive
i don't know i don't know how you can do that uh... it'd be very hard to do i
mean you just have to have
the resources
the programming that makes you kind of money and that is is successful
and uh... and on the side hopefully
be able to do
to uh... find investigated right is the biggest incentive is that having a
profitable media outlet that
can just afford to say you know people are our values are such that we're gonna
keep doing this because we think it makes sense but again it is it's too
tempting not to say whatever earl whatever you're making you could just
say hey we can make way more if instead of investigative journalism we've got
you know a panel of three people talking about the debt ceiling or whatever it is
right disappointing but that's the way it is keep your questions coming david
