Think-tanks and journalism: Making the headlines
my notes ( ? )
"think-tanks, the semi-academic institutions that come up with ideas for politicians [are] increasingly doing journalism—not just blogging and tweeting but foreign reporting, too. Deskbound journalists, meanwhile, are embracing data and spreadsheets."
Really? Think tanks are basically glorified PR firms for political movements/parties, so this move into journalism looks more like the PR-driven corporatisation of news.
File under "corporate journalism".
