I think journalists report better than the previous generation. I'm not so sure they write better.

You know what else proves that? Copy editors and/or fact checkers are an afterthought for many news outlets today. It's the first place they go to cut costs.I think Shottie is right. Good reporters are really valuable in the Twitter age...get that info out super fast. But this is not an era in which anyone is demanding the big news story be all that well-written.
