Alltop aggregates top stories, contradicts journalism degrees


"Alltop is an 'online magazine rack' of popular topics."

The 1976 version of the game of "Life" describes a journalist salary at $24,000. Adjusted for inflation, compare that to what a journalist makes today: $24,000. Now compare it to what a journalist will make in the future: trick question--robots don't need money, you silly human.

Alltop acts as a "magazine rack" of hot topic news stories, so that newspapers and pesky journalists don't have to decide what's important for you to read. Also, robots finally get their opportunity to dismiss stereotypes brought on by the movie, "Terminator."

Search by alphabet, topic, category, and receive updates for as long as you want. Just remember it was all for the sake of convenience.

    And yet, the majority of the news in the "News" section still comes from people with those journalism degrees.

    For-profit journalism is an abysmal failure in the United States: as a business model, as a watch-dog, in the agenda-setting role, et, al.

    Our snake eats its own tail as journalism, in some form, is necessary to our democracy (though not particularly in the form we're used to) so, while journalism has absolutely failed, we still absolutely need journalists.

    The NPR/PBS model has been suggested as the likely way out of this mess, but I don't know.

    No (and by "no" I mean relatively few professions not tied into tech booms) wages have risen since 1976, fwiw. Journamalists aren't the only ones who've been screwed out of the American dream by management and the political elites they elect.
