Not neccessarily. There are fashion-magazin journalists, journalists who write for the daily local news-paper, etc.
But I know what you mean. When I was asking about "investigative" journalism, I was asking about those outlets/magazins/news-channels that are into putting together the pieces of a bigger picture of the world we are living in.
I was especially asking about what the pre-conditions are in which real/actual/serious investigative journalism would be considered as such, in which it can and will investigate some "real" stuff, and by that getting its job done. Which are, according to you and your sources?

That are some fine questions, indeed.
I would say, if we first establish what the pre-conditions are, in which a free press can properly function, which isn't something that is in the realm of (mere) information, but would be considered as a concept/idea/ideal, then we can proceed from there?
How about that?
