A Lot of Influencers Talk about the News. Not All of Them Are Journalists

Post by Dr Strangelove »


Platforms like TikTok are flooded with content creators gabbing about current events. It’s time for journalists to join the fray.

You just have to say you are a journalist, not have any qualifications. Look at Rebel News.

Saying you are a journalist doesn't make you one, just like saying you are a mechanic doesn't.

It is a profession with standards, and you have to meet those standards to really be one.

Rebel news is a perfect example. They are reporters at best. They do nothing that is required of a Journalist. Rebel is more of a bunch of Jo-Urinealists.
