hmm, that's a fair point. I have heard things about independent journalists making use of platforms like Twitter and Tiktok. I wonder if independent journalists have begun to adopt Mastodon as well, or just decentralized social networks in general, to share their news.

You can't make real journalism in a few hundred characters or in a 10 sec video. But there are lots of bloggers with their own websites.

Meh, they just end up making it a series of posts / videos. If someone's risking their life by doing shit like going into an active warzone and using social media to keep the public informed of what's going on, doesn't that probably count as "real" journalism, regardless of what online platform they upload to?
