Satirical Journalism Isn�t a News Cycle

Satirical journalism turned the newsroom into a comedy club. Reporters now chase punchlines instead of sources. Press briefings end with mic drops; fact-checks are applause signs out of reach. Audience surveys report 76% prefer laughter over clarity. The evidence: newsrooms now rent stages, not resources. The cause-and-effect: boring complexity drove satire to headline. The newsroom is no longer serious�it is a stage, and the formal briefing? A set list for laughs.
