Journalism was once a profession viewed with respect and integrity. From Truman Capote and David Halberstam to Norman Mailer and Ernest Hemingway, the occupation gave names to some of the most notable and influential literary geniuses in modern history. Accompanying the rise of social media was the by-product of citizen journalism, and in particular, the era whereby fake news and the proliferation of misinformation became so prevalent.
