Things about journalism that tumblr never seems to grasp

• Headlines have to be as streamline as possible. Aka, they can’t include names unless the article is about a well-known public figure.
• Those “water is wet” articles do more then explain what you already know, they’re providing evidence and sources that support/explain what you already know.
• Oh my god, there’s information after the headline.

journalists are required to use the word “alleged” or “allegedly” until the person they’re talking about has been found guilty in a court of law
