I don't know that this shows that journalism is dead per se. What it does show is that there is a race to be the first to break news and that the speed of media today encourages this race to break the lead story.
I think you will find that if you do an analysis of news events and look at all the coverage of that event over the length of the cycle, you will find that good reporting will eventually win out.
