        Since 00s, Media journalists went from being the most qualified to cover their beat, to being maybe 50% qualified to understand everything.

      That's not to say they aren't doing excellent work on specific parts of their beat. But a ton that is 'media news' that goes unreported.

    Everything digital advertising until like a few years ago, is a big example. If reporting on stock is media reporting, then isn't core biz?

      It's the classic business journalism problem though. The people most qualified to report on it can be way better compensated elsewhere.

            In retrospect the 'we're a tech company' movement in media orgs may have had a lot to do with an attempt to get the right beat covering them

              I mean... if Kinja had been a product by a startup and not a media company it would have been a totally different narrative.

                Same with if Medium had been created at the NYT instead of as a startup I think.
