Well, I suppose that's the difference between the Old Journalism and the new. "Journalism," being, generally, the production and publication of a record of events.
In the Old Journalism, you had a greater locus of control: publishing was prohibitively expensive and laborious. In the New Journalism, it's cheap and easy.
When "journalism" is accessible instead of something requiring an Ivory Tower, you tend to get different versions of events.
