I think he meant journalists are the ones checking and distinguishing between real and distinguishing/false information.

Yes.

You've only linked to print advertising and newspapers' declining revenue, i.e printing on dead trees. Printing on paper then selling that paper isn't a requirement for journalism to happen.
