Journalist criticises TV montage formats for lacking real analysis
Original: RE: https:// mastodon.social/@villebooks/11 7435331628062406 🗨️ As a journalist, I find a montage of # socialmedia image
A journalist has criticised the widespread television practice of stitching together social media images, archival clips, brief interviews and excerpts from expert panels into montage segments. Writing on Mastodon, villebooks argues such formats are highly problematic because they lack objective analysis, dressing up fragmented material as substantive journalism. The critique has resonated with a small audience, drawing agreement from users who share concerns about declining editorial standards in broadcast news.
Why now: Ongoing debate among journalists about whether montage-style news segments substitute for genuine reporting and analysis
