Dan Rather most emhasized idea about journalism

Dan Rather emphasized the state of journalism as a whole, is in a crisis right now and is being over-worked. Crisis was the most said word in the video simply because it is summing up the point of journalism right now with one word. The crisis of journalism as he see's it, is that it is over worked. The internet should not be the only source for information because anyone can post anything. Yes it is the easiest form of getting news now but and that with technology advancing the old media world is transforming / collapsing. There is more of so-called surface reporting right now. He wants to see reporters and news be reported deeper. Get the cream of the crop of a news story not just a quick glimpse. Here's where creative thinking is what would be needed for the future, and keeping independent to diminish quality and qunity. Dan Rather simply saw the world of journalism transform throughout his life. As the world continues to grow, the state of journalism is collapsing and needs help to be fixed with addition of new technology and the future coming.
