What Is the Future of Speculative Journalism?

By: Robbie Campbell

This article was written on January 22, 2018. It covers over the evolution of speculative journalism, which is journalism except it covers what might happen, and not what happened. Just like a speculative guess, more reporters are starting to use speculative journalism to cover stories, rather than going out and actually reporting it.This quote accurately depicts the cause of speculative journalism "Our eagerness to know what will happen next, particularly in relation to the Trump saga..."(Wampole). I believe that speculative journalism will only cause the creation of fake news. The fact that journalists would go to just speculate what might happen during an event, makes it clear why some news sources are more trusted than others. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/22/opinion/speculative-journalism-future.html
