THE FOURTH
ESTATE:
NOT DEAD YET
Longtime journalist and Fairleigh
Dickinson media ethics professor JOE
STRUPP is concerned about the future
of his beloved profession. In his recent
book Killing
Journalism: How
Greed, Laziness (and
Donald Trump) are
Destroying News and
How we can Save It
(Willow Street Press,
$20), he explores the
causes of the indus-
STRUPP
try’s woes, and possi-
ble solutions. In an email, Strupp advis-
es Millburn & Short Hills Magazine
readers who love quality journalism to
support “credible and valid news outlets
— be it newspapers, news channels or
websites — and oppose those that are
not credible.” A Maplewood resident
who grew up in Summit, he says that
despite all the challenges, young people
who “look at journalism as a calling”
should “stick to the ethics and mission
of journalism, which includes holding
truth to power and finding out the who,
what, where, when and why of the big
stories of the day. The money is not
great and the hours are lousy, but the
high and the exhilaration make up
for it.”
