Oh, you mean other than about 90% of journalists in America.

I worked around multiple newsrooms. It's clear that you have not.

There is a very big world outside of the corner of the internet that you live in. And it still exists despite the internet trying to kill it off. Most "hometown" papers still exist. Go find some of them. Read them. What you'll see is that most of them are staffed by about 5-6 people, a few freelancers, and then a bunch of bylines that are simply the name of the paper, because they don't want you to realize how short-staffed they are (these are also written by those same journalists and editors).

That's the reality of the modern newsroom for the VAST majority of news outlets in the US.
