May The Force Be With You
Julio Daio Borges
Well, there is no need to go into detail about the crisis in journalism today -I'm sure others will cover those details- and how, in the perception of the public, the press is evil and has gone over to the Dark Side of The Force. We know that the credibility of the news media, to summarize the Pew Center research, is lower than whale shit. But I do think we need to look into why the news media, journalism, and reporters have reached these depths, and then to look at what needs to be done for redemption. The Star Wars epic is about the eventual triumph of good (and creativity) over evil (and institutional control and corruption) and about redemption. Darth Vader redeems himself in the final Star Wars episode, Return of the Jedi, by killing Emperor Palpatine to save his son, Luke. So, how can "evil" journalists redeem themselves?
