There is a new genre of journalism that has emerged over the past ten years. PRG calls it "direct journalism" where funded news sites are recruiting people to write news and commentary within a structured framework and publish "direct" to the public without an editor or fact checker. Most of these writers are not paid. The most recent and well funded entry into this genre is the Examiner, which pays writers based on page viewings. Tens of thousands of writers are now producing news and commentary pieces on every subject imaginable. [Note: some might call this "citizen journalism," but all journalists are citizens.]  The UFO/ET/exopolitical subject matter has been embraced by direct journalism and thousands of news and commentary articles have been published. There are four key points that must be made about this body of work:

1. without an editor or fact checker the material presented is going to vary widely in quality and accuracy, but it is notable how much is as good as or better than that found in traditional media.

2. any payment system based upon page viewings will exert pressure toward a more sensational approach to the content and the headline - it is tabloidizing.

3. this new genre will continue to evolve and improve, is here to stay and in short order will reshape journalism and modern culture.  

4. without question this new genre helps fill the gap created by the government imposed truth embargo which has prevented standard media from appropriately covering the UFO/ET issue since the 1950's.

PRG believes the growing body of direct journalism addressing UFO/ET/exopolitical subject matter, if read with a heightened degree of discernment, is an important contribution to understanding the past, present and future of ufology and exopolitics.
