zillajratomicray 2 hours ago (edited) I work for Reuters. I'm a journalist in the media business Heer Back in 2008, I sat in a conference and reviewed some proposals to integrate news sources focused on electronic gaming into our RSS service as niche content providers. We considered IGN, Gamespot, and a few other syndicated online into feeds. Now, in order to white label a source as affiliated with Reuters, you need to run through a checklist of-100 items that are necessary for journalistic integrity. The source and its organization has to score at least a 60 out of 100 for it to be considered fair and unbiased These tests are carried out by senior journalists, editors, and investigators. NONE of the gaming publications scored higher than a 15. For reference, the National Enquirer scored a 38 and the MSNBC blogosphere scored 44 Some failures included Economic ties with publishers -Acceptance of favors 09% of staff held journalism degree Very small percentage worked in other major publications No real editing process No accountability tl:dr: Gaming jounalism is a joke and the laughingstock of reporting media. Continue to read these publications if you want, but assume that everything you read is biased or an outright lie. Show less 208 위

Tyrannosaurs RECKT! At this point, I think Gaming Journalism might be beyond saving. Should we truly try to continue making it good, or should we destroy it entirely?
