News Reporter AMA

Ask a newspaper reporter anything. Specifically, my beat is law enforcement but I also cover local politics and education.

I work in a red state for a corporate newspaper.

The corporation owns many small newspapers all over the country. Check and see who owns your local paper.

Why don't you admit that a jew owns your company?

kys.

Small town? Bigger city? What kind of circulation? How much Freemason and Rotary Club dick do they try to get you to suck, or is it someone else running the show in your area?

It's a fucking white male, actually. He also owns a sports team but pays journalists really shitty.

The newspaper, and all those also owned by the corporation, have a right wing slant. They all publish conservative syndicated columnists regularly and present left wing view points biasedly.

At the local level, this is also true. The editors follow orders.

This stymies most criticism of law enforcement, local politics, and corruption.

Smaller city. Circulation is >10k last i checked. most of the papers also owned by the company are around this level of circulation

Go kill yourself

not very nice abdul. your country needs more reporters

why? i consider my self a propagandist for the right wing. My company is partly responsible for keeping the redneck boomers voting red

How common is political interference in police investigations?

So tell us what is the pay like.

I don't think posting my press ID would help. Besides, who would claim to be a local news reporter who isn't?

I'm providing insight into the way corporate mass media dominates local markets. It's propaganda disguised as local news and comes from the top

Then why do you work there when you could work for a Communist propaganda machine like CNN?

>i consider my self a propagandist
good job, fuck those retards that call themselves "objective journalists," the absolute worst
>t. worked at major media company that made me sign nonsense contract to "be objective journalist"

Why don't you kill yourself for being a traitor to the people?

depends what the investigation is. If it's very public official it's hard, most likely the prosecutors will draw the trial out and then either dismiss or hand out reduced sentences for the good ol' boys.

if it's not that high profile, it's unlikely you'll be charged or arrested depending how you're connected to the local system.

Family members of local officials are almost never arrested

the pay is shit. I'm talking like 9.50-11.00 for reporters depending on the paper. Meanwhile, editors make about 50k and publishers are about 80k.

Wow so you fucking suck. Maybe try something else.

i've noticed there are no mainstream leftist news orgs. Sure CNN might push a liberal social issue sometimes but they sandbagged sanders for a reason. At the end of the day, they're all corporate news and out for shekels rather than any meaningful change or provider of information. Don't forget that please

Yeah, at least you can see the forest for the trees. I am having trouble reconcilling this information and it drags on me daily

I need money and hope to switch to something else soon. I feel pretty bad about this. I'm just following orders however. I try to do a good job

You should get into writing books. A lot of reporters are good authors because they find shit other people don't. The writing skills are secondary.

You can literally get a job making $9-11 an hour doing ANY FUCKING THING ELSE.

Open your local news paper or check wikipedia to see who owns it. I almost guarantee it's owned by a large corporate entity and regularly publishes right wing slant.

Sometimes. I'm regularly requested to "tone down" criticisms of conservative officials. See in this red state, almost everyone of them is a republican. They allow the paper to have "special access" so the logic is to not "scare them away"

This is what makes me the angriest. I can't accurately portray candidates or issues because people will call my boss and the next article will be more slanted

even your right wing ones?

You expect perfect grammar on pol? Call my editor idgaf

As for trying something else, even if I have several eye witnesses to a crime that say the son of x wasn't charged, I can't write an article about it beacuse it's "unsubstantiated claims" etc etc.

>damage control
Yeah no.

>there are no mainstream leftist news orgs

If you accurately portray this site you'll make a ton of money my dude.

oh okay forgive me for trying to shine light on local news operations and the way propaganda is spread to the masses under the pretense of news

i like writing and while i may not be technically good i'd still like to continue

true but in this red state, there's fuck all to get into. It's not a big place and job opportunities are limited

this is political

prosecutors often to decline to press charges or pursue lesser charges against connected individuals. obviously the judge gives sentences but you get what i'm looking at.

officer caught selling 20+ guns from security locker? less than two weeks in prison

regular citizens charged with gun crimes often get the book at them

there isn't. here I am explaining my logic and you are providing no argument

what do you mean user?

>perfect grammar
No I expect competent grammar from a professional writer who holds himself out as such in an off-topic thread on Jow Forums. Also nice false dilemma, moron.
>pol
Also fuck off.

I had a subscription to the Economist in high school and once wanted to be a journalist. Are you ashamed of what has happened to the profession?

>Dear Fellow Nazis,

Good writing is 30% talent and 70% content.

oh ok so thanks for your critque

Any argument on the substance? Who owns your local newspaper. Does it have a right wing slant? Ever thought about it?

This is by design and is one of the reasons the right has such a stranglehold on poor communities. The local media is all right wing and has no desire to improve the conditions of the poor

Besides, journalists may be writers but it's just one part of the job. Would you consider a construction worker a mathematician because he uses math? Writing is just a tool idc if you think i'm good, lets talk about the substance

>the pay is shit. I'm talking like 9.50-11.00 for reporters depending on the paper. Meanwhile, editors make about 50k and publishers are about 80k.
I am so glad pay is this low means your shitty industry really is dying

So, your "right wing slant" nonsense is still based on "republican" versus "democrat."

shit b8

Declining to press or even requesting to dismiss are distinct from dismissing. In all seriousness though, I'm just breaking your balls. Thanks for doing shitty, underpaid work and thanks for attempting to share your perspective. Most of my college friends are journos now so I absolutely get it.

Bullshit, if papers were conservative, Christine Ford's lies would have been page one. Saged. Go larp on /b/

If msnbc or cnn isn't a leftist news org then there are no right wing news orgs either. So what's your point? Oh right nothing.

We already know this. That's why we're telling you to KYS.

>doesn't know about forums

fuck off cosmopolitan LARPer

yes absolutely. Journalists are regularly burnt out and never appreciated it. We are used and abused for 10 an hour pumping out propaganda for the corporate overlords. Any investigative pieces must be cleared several times, if you even have enough time to complete the article with all the other assignments piling up

most good journos are pushed out

this is true. thank you for reading user

also, just out of curiosity, who owns your local paper?

>right wing slant
There's that mantra again. Must keep repeating it or the gods will not bring back the sun.
>the right (watever the hell that means) hasa stranglehold on poor communities
Like in Chicago?

>even your right wing ones?
All establishment media fags need killed. I don't care which side.

>also, just out of curiosity, who owns your local paper?
Lee Enterprises. They bought up the local free paper too which went out of business after 2 years. Imagine my shock.

>are you ashamed of what journalism has become?
>yes -- we're burning out because nobody appreciates us

i'm almost certain some of these newspapers operate at a loss but they stay open somehow. I'm guessing to ensure a steady stream of conservative propaganda in the small towns, although facebook et al are certainly doing a good job filling the gap

thanks for reading. it's hard out here on the streets

please google who owns your local newspaper and take a look at the type of opinion pieces they regularly publish

my point is that it's all really propaganda, even at lower levels

suck a dick.

Do you think it's a problem that journalists don't seem to fear backlash or the general population? Do you feel that if they did, they wouldn't create so much divisive shit?

>who owns your local paper?

are you implying we read our local news or are you just avoiding to name the (((white male))) that runs your company?

I hope those 30 pieces of silver are worth for protecting your boss, goy

It's 40 pieces of silver. Are you a fucking bot? I've been seeing "30 pieces of silver" all over the fucking place for weeks now.

Fuck!!! I just searched. I must have skipped another fucking realm. Mandela Effect?

For all of this talk about having a good grasp of the truth, you seem to have political beliefs stuck in 2004. The left and corporate America now march hand in hand, to the point where Pepsi's trying to pander to antifa during Super Bowl commercials. Bernigger trash like you agrees with big business on virtually everything except who gets more money. You're controlled opposition.

>jews quote christians
>can't stop themselves from haggling

you don't have to believe me. I'm not saying blindly supporting dems is the way to go either. I'm from a red state so I don't know what kind of reporting goes on the south side of chicago, just sharing my observations.

yeah that'll happen. it's a shame i feel like reporting was much better when my paper was independently owned

it's like blaming the fast food worker for poor food quality. you can be mad at the cook but he isn't the reason he's working two shifts to live on min wage and quality suffers

>30 pieces of silver? Of course, Judas, we have 20 pieces of silver. Just tell us where Jesus is, and we'll get your 10 pieces of silver ready.

i don't know what you mean? If i make a mistake, i definitely hear about it as my phone number is right under the articles i write. If you're talking about the talking heads on TV, yeah there is no backlash or push for better news because they're accomplishing the goals the news org wants. news is dead pretty much

I work for Ogden, you can look up who owns it on wikipedia jose

just trying to spread awareness. most of you mouth breathing trumpers assume you're part of some silent majority but inactuality, there's a lot behind the scenes going on to keep the population dumb, namely the watering down of local news which has reverberations in the local community culminating in corruption etc

hey man, i'm just not swindled by someone dangling abortion or gay rights infront of me. I don't care. you can believe what you want man

for a long time local news was ran by local independent companies which helped strengthen ties to local communities and remain unbiased. now they are all bought out and pushing corporate propaganda. the shift in quality is unmistakable

If I was single I could pay you 11 an hour to tell the truth about your community. No clearance necessary on articles. As long as work is done. lmao.

How do you guys fabricate stories? Spitball in a writer’s room or get messages from invisible brass telling you?

Speed Round: do you crunch numerology all day to get the ideas? Are you a freemason?

if you were single? what do you mean

I spend a lot of money on my significant other.

Every time I see that I'm reminded that it's the best political cartoon of the past decade. What the fuck is going on in clown world that the far right is the last bastion of sanity against the megabank-sponsored commies. What kind of insane world am I in where the megabanks are conspiring to engender communism, for christ's sake? The Catholic church promotes it now, the ultra-wealthy megacorps spread its message, and fucking nobody except for the fringe right even seems to realize or give a shit.

I feel like I'm going out of my mind, I seriously do. I just don't get how people can not care enough to try to figure out the basics of what the future's going to be like if we keep up our current path.

Top Kek boyos.
Seriously though, I always thought it was 40.

there is no fabricating of stories. We really do have to fact check stuff. The propaganda comes with the slant.

For instance, cops publish x statistics saying crime is down. Well, the details show that the area studied is narrowed and we then publish a story saying crime is down and some quotes from the police patting themselves on the back

similar for political articles. Republican X says so and so is going great. Again, the statistics or info provided by the officials Public Relations person is always biased, but we present it as fact and any questioning of the "facts" is watered down

>i don't know what you mean? If i make a mistake, i definitely hear about it as my phone number is right under the articles i write.
I think he's talking about people shooting you in the streets or firebombing your shithole office.

ah that sucks man, real love don't cost a thing ya know what i mean

explain how big banks sponsor the left? I don't understand why you trumpers always resort to extremes like communism. most of the left in my community just wants healthcare and legal weed in hopes of boosting tourism because jobs are shit. also a lot of cancer in the area from the resource extraction industries

why would you think that? It's even in the Turner's diaries the quote.... Nigga, you better be working at Ogden with OP

so can you humor me. How would you rewrite portions of this article to be more "slanted".

thefreethoughtproject.com/texas-school-cop-kidnaps-12-year-old/

locals are receptive because we do publish stories on local crime and such. We try to do good in the community.

Most of you sub 100 IQ level guys would rather all us journos die so the puppet masters can operate without any one sniffing around.

I really wonder how we bring journalism back when this is the average attitude.

I guess most of the right wing retards agree with the propaganda we publish and the few intellectuals of the area realize we are a corporate mouthpiece staffed by entry level 20 somethings

that's a pretty high profile crime, it appears. there would be no slant, that guy is fucked and the details would drive a lot of clicks to the newspaper's website. Not all of the officials can escape but if there was no journalism, you'd never see this guy's face

>i'm just not swindled by someone dangling abortion or gay rights
LOL it's not just "gay rights," it's fucking hormone therapy for seven year olds. The guy you replied to is exactly right, the newscorps you're calling "conservative" constantly push radical progressivism - open borders, absolute madness regarding sexuality, racially-divisive anti-cop propaganda, and much more. They take a fiscal centrist "but what will happen to the markets!" tone when it suits them but fill in every possible gap with oppression narratives, the lifeblood of communist class consciousness. They are not in any sense conservative, nor are their messages.

You really have no idea what this place is, do you?

Smarter than you fag.
You aren't sniffing anything, but your bosses ass.

IDK, I just remember it always being that way.

again, you're resorting to extremes. the media chooses to put those people who believe in that in front of a camera to give the illusion it's some widespread belief. it's not and most people, including leftists, are appalled at the idea of giving children hormones etc

i just like to share light on issues. this job makes me depressed and i'd like to share what i know

i try, but so much falls through the cracks and that's why i get depressed. i don't have enough time to investigate much when i have daily deadlines for fluff pieces and non news bs articles

I see, so you can only slant certain things.
I think that right wingers don't hate journalists in general. Mainly CNN gets a bad rep. Personally I see fox news and CNN similarly but I'm not exactly a right winger per se. Right now Libertarianism is what I lean most towards but I also read a lot of fringe journalism and far right wing news. I would watch something insanely progressive such as the Jimmy Dore show on youtube to see what the progressives are complaining about next but then move on to see what neo-nazi publications were going on at dailystormer. I don't really get entertained by mainstream news unless it's Tucker Carlson acting out of character and spouting something different than his friends. I pay 0 attention to local news.

this is what bothers me about the media because retards like you think that's what leftists want. We don't want open borders. these issues are framed in a way to get you riled up and forget that you and tyrone are more similar on paper than what you'd like to believe.

You didn’t say if you’re a freemason or not

i think this highlights what's wrong with "news" these days.

it's designed entertainment and half a message to tell readers how to feel or what to be complaining about.

The news should just present facts and relevant background knowledge. It sounds easy but when you have corporate overlords heavily hinting at what they want, combined with inexperienced writers lacking the background info, it makes for shit news. it's all designed to get clicks that's the problem

the OP sounds like a confused 19 year old who doesn't see the big picture
