| brighat said: Very few of these "game journalists" ever took "journalism". Just a bunch of bloggers and pseudo-celebrities nowadays. Professional wrestling has the same issues with its coverage. I doubt it will ever improve as every avenue of journalism is going down the toilet. |
I blame the internet...and I'm not really joking about that. I mean if I wanted to, I could make a gaming website and make my own articles without ever taking any classes about journalism, slowly you get popular and you become like Polygon.
This will also become a problem outside of gaming..movies, music, books, etc are slowly starting to suffer the same. The main difference (at least for now) is that the famous sites are still there and are very popular, they also hire real journalist unlike the gaming sites.
