Jornalistas e fontes na Internet... Que futuro para a informação?

"The debate over the trustworthiness of the internet is relatively new, but the one over the trustworthiness of journalists is much older. It has been given added impetus, however, by the recession, and the flagging income among media outlets. With less sales comes less money, and with less money comes mass redundancies. Those journalists still left with jobs are being forced to write more and more copy, but with just the same amount of time at work.

This is doubly true when the source is an internet item itself - such as website or a tweet".
