Just like "business" skills, journalism should be something people develop on the side while still maintaining their primary work skillset (with industry-specific skills).

The big problem with journalism right now is the complete disconnect between the journalist and their understanding of the topic. Just look at every software or bitcoin article. This is largely because of the internet's turn-around speed requirements and low pay. They have no time to invest in learning about the topic.

The only way to save journalism is if we start contributing to it like we do OSS. Instead of paying people minimum wage and expecting quality results, we have people who contribute articles on the side.

But not just anybody writing (like blogging), but people who invest in learning how to write - working with full-time editors who manage the input and source writers.
