Re: Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice." Archived Message Posted by brooks on November 7, 2019, 6:57 pm, in reply to "Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice."" I always say journalism is story-telling. subtext: You know, what parents do with children when they're putting them to sleep, or what we at the BBC do with our audiences when we want to put them to sleep, and not notice how concentrated corporate power is destroying their lives and the planet. This ludicrous journalism-as-storytelling meme has an enduring appeal to liberals in state media. When I met a CBC reporter in Halifax a few years back, he described his job to me in exactly those terms. I suppose the appeal is rooted in the fact that stories don't have to be either true or relevant, which makes engaging in propaganda and distraction much easier.
