Local newspaper content too full of listicles and clickbait - lecturer

https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2016/oct/26/local-newspaper-content-too-full-of-listicles-and-clickbait-lecturer

A Folkestone Herald front page report in 2011.



This article would look into how journalism isn't gaining the credibility it used to. in this case it would instead look at the "listicles" that have been produced as well as more user generated content that wouldn't really "offer any news values". This would indicate a decline in quality with journalism.

I would agree with this article as lately "listicles" have been appearing more frequently in articles and with the click bait that also makes the content even worse. As well as that, the credibility of journalism is also declining which can also show the change in quality over the years.
