It's easy to see a future where primary sources post their information directly online (already largely the case) and AI agents make tailored, interactive news for their users.

Sure, there may still be investigative journalism and long form, but those are hardly the money makers.

Also, just like SWE's, writers have that same "do I have a place in the future?" anxiety in the back of their head.

The media is very hostile towards AI, and the threat is on multiple levels.
