I think social media has kind of killed journalism in some respects.

When is the last time you've truly read a piece/publication regarding the Bengals, Reds, etc? I feel like I know everything there is to know about the Bengals and barely read any articles about them....it's all blurbed out on social media or blogs, especially twitter. It also doesn't help that the Bengals beat guys really don't have much to offer when it comes to "insider" info. They aren't plugged in at all and the national guys are the ones that usually break the scoops. 

Sad to say but I think journalism is just a dying breed. People don't have the attention span for it anymore and its all about obtaining information in the fastest way possible, not by spending 10 minutesreading an actual article.
