I have been a reporter/editor for > 20 years and think some of what's happening now is pretty exciting. When I started you wrote 600 words and maybe had a picture. yes @Oliver Schick, there is a lot of trash out there. but @Fox is right if you know where to look there is some cool work being done. The opportunities for new ways of telling stories is real and when they work the audience is there and will come. For example (I didn't produce these, and the latter is optimised for desktop alas)

The problem is that producing stuff like this is time consuming and expensive, so not everyone can do it. Clickbait is cheap, so it's everywhere.
