Journalism today is a Hamster Wheel, according to one observer:
"The Hamster Wheel isn’t speed; it’s motion for motion’s sake. The Hamster Wheel is volume without thought. It is news panic, a lack of discipline, an inability to say no. It is copy produced to meet arbitrary productivity metrics."
That's a quote from this really entertaining article in the Columbia Journalism Review, by Dean Starkman. If you want to get a sense of why journalists (the ones who still have jobs) look so tired and can't complete their sentences, read this.
