| TheBigFatJ said: Also, we're seeing a serious problem with gaming 'journalism'. We all have seen that most gaming journalists shouldn't bother calling themselves journalists, but rather amateur bloggers. Look at all of the "Sony says it sold 100k PS3s in one week" posts at places like Joystiq. If you even bother to look at the article they're linking, and then look at the source that article links to, the original source has a poorly worded sentence that suggests Sony is, as they say, including more than one playstation product in that number. |
This is what I've been saying for a long time. Gaming "journalism" standards are incredibly low, and you can see that reflected very well in the terrible state of video game magazines and horribly written articles on sites like GameSpot. As someone in the journalism field myself, albeit in a different area, amateurish bullshit annoys me to no end.
