While some people praise the 24-hour news cycle others have, in the past and present, criticised the format. For example, former journalists Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel released a book in 1999 titled Warp Speed: America in the Age of Mixed Media. In the book, Kovach and Rosenstiel suggest the press has replaced the traditional values of verification, proportion, relevance, depth and quality of interpretation with sensationalism, entertainment and opinion. Their main fear was journalists in the future would de-emphasize whether a claim was valid before presenting it to the public and doing so as quickly as possible. Almost 20 years since the release of their book, some have argued Kovach and Rosenstiel were correct in their claims, and the 24-hour news cycle has killed journalism. Share with friends
