A new piece at Psy Post says that, compared with 13 years ago, journalists are less moral today.
Background:
1. Priming, namely by reminding them they are journalists, was used to see if that induced more morality. The results were compared to a study 13 years ago.
2. The priming was found to make NO morality inducement this time.
3. It's a fairly small sample size, just 171.
4. Interestingly, all subjects self-identified as digital journalists.
That, in turn, leads me back to a post just a few days ago about how having a YouTube channel and a couple of social media feeds may make you — MAY make you, they don't guarantee you to be — a journalist in the eye of the court system sub specie Primo Amendmento, but they DON'T AT ALL guarantee you're a journalist, let alone a "publisher" in the media world sub specie scribendo atrimento.
I wonder how much of this is winger media. The Project Veritas type stuff is basically all winger-side stuff. No liberals let alone lefties do that.
