This is what drove me out of Journalism classes. It was boring to write news, and even editorials without using adjectives. I do however have a great appreciation for those that actually do this work, it's just that no one does it well. When I see brief, informative articles that cite sources I always find it pretty refreshing. I agree that this is the way it needs to be done, but unfortunately it also drives away a lot of potential journalists. It seems that in the press this style is fading from popularity, which is too bad. Maybe an influx of journalists will fix the problem.
