This are my issues with hat's idea:  The community was against it. This was caused because Hat let the sub grow without any kind of boundaries, it's normal that the majority that have been exposed to this content want it to stay there. Happenings about journalism issues won't appear more frequently because you change the content of the subreddit. All the digging operations are done under the radar. In consecuence you will have a semi-dead board that will be circlejerking about old issues and eventually will grow tired of the same content.
