Today in class we discussed the issue of Public vs Private, and the role journalism has played in intruding into people’s personal privacy for ‘public interest’. We debated over what exactly ‘public interest’ consisted of, as I believe that it is a term that means: ‘ A piece of information that the whole public ought to [...]

A nice little read I came across when trying to get an idea of the debate of new media vs old journalism: Journalists have been unaccountable to readers, instead they respond to market pressures, consumerism and their corporate masters.
