Investigative Journalism is dead

Post by autolab » Sat Nov 02, 2019 2:53 pm

Whatever happened to investigative journalism in the Flint-Tri Cities market? ABC 12 used to have an I-Team. Jim Kiertzner went after corruption at city hall. Now, no one at any of the stations is doing any real investigations. They've replaced real journalism with Gray's Investigate TV national reports.

ABC12 ran one of those national stories this spring about what I’ve done for a living in this State for the past 20 plus years but focused on another state. I emailed Angie at ABC12, told her that what they reported doesn’t happen here and that they need to talk to officials here about the subject. She thanked me for my email and said she’d pass it onto the News Director for what I suggested. No follow up was ever broadcast >:
