That turns gathering news information - as reader - into hard work, and anything that's hard work gets put onto the back burner unless it's a hobby or sex.

I just don't believe there will be little colonies of earnest seekers after truth spending time fighting the system, a system that, in the end, provides much of what keeps things going, if in different directions to those some may prefer. But it's the global movement, the kinetic energy that counts and keeps what there is functioning, not the little ripples of dissent. Unless, of course, things get to the level of Venezuela, or like that. By which time it's too late.

Hmm, keeping this somewhat photographically, I'm reminded of the movie Mephisto with Klaus Maria Brandauer.

I think the NY Times still does a pretty good job with photojournalism and photo essays despite being somewhat biased.

They have a section called "Lens" https://www.nytimes.com/section/lens

NOTE: I'm not asking for debate on the lack of female participation within LuLa. That issue deserves its own separate Coffee Corner forum topic.

Soon as you started this topic I will add my 5 Cents.

Yep, the New York Times has kept photojournalism as an integral part of the publication. Unfortunately in smaller community news it seems not.
