@Loukas @jayrosen_nyu From that perspective, it is indeed a valid definition, which arises another problem namely how many modern journalists (at least mainstream media journalists) actually seeking the truth, haha

@oleg_ru you can likewise ask how many police really protect and serve, and how many doctors are healers - but it is this mission which gives the profession any legitimacy in society:)

And I think it's interesting to see how even journalists who are corrupt, or who work in corrupt or fascist countries, still perform fragments of that role. Looking at people's complaints over some small things while they ignore the big things, for example.

@Loukas Yeah, true, but journalists and the overall role of media is profound, especially in democratic countries and the quality of police and healthcare is also a subject of how media address possible issues. Sorry if I sound too attacking toward journalists.

@oleg_ru not at all. I think journalism is in a deep crisis precisely because it has lost touch with what gives it meaning - and ruthless criticism of journalism is totally deserved. Good journalists can show it doesn't apply to them by doing good work. For example it's fun to see how upset Elon Musk is with Taylor Lorenz today :)
