For those who are stating that anonymous sources are 'just part of journalism', yes that is correct, but it's also one of the reasons why journalism is dying as a profession... no one wants to know the opinion of the writer anymore, no one wants to read 'sources tell us' anymore. It's all bullsh*t. Articles are just blogs, and there's enough people writing them these days. All people want to see now is the quote directly from the horse's mouth i.e. twitter/facebook
Why does cory jane get vilified by the media because of his constant tweeting? Because he's removing the journalist from the equation... the sooner mainstream newspapers go under the better
Newsnow = the new media
