i would think that journalism should be involved with alot more than this--restricting their purview to uncovering the secrets of the powerful is to make all journalism a type of tabloid affair. there are structural issues---journalism should be concerned with them. there are complex national and international questions that journalism should be on top of.
to my mind, the central limitation on much american journalism is its commercial nature--that it is about selling advertising.
from this follows all others.
