@dangillmor is one of the only journalists on any platform that consistently points out stories that journalists should be covering. I keep thinking that “reporting on reporting, and reporting on what needs reporting,” can and should be key activity of decentralized social networking. Because it sure won’t be anywhere else.

@aardvark One of the few examples of anyone doing much at all. But still a drop in the bucket, with all but zero follow-up. I call it hit and run quality journalism.

@shoq @dangillmor

Isn’t that what they used to call #muckraking?

@paninid @dangillmor Well, that term has a checkered past, but even in the best sense of it, it refers to aggressive investigative journalists uncovering corruption, and not necessarily those trying to amplify their work or the issues they reveal.
