People aren't randomly assigned stories on the fly, that would be an insane waste of time, resources and expertise.
You have teams of researchers, writers and editors dedicated specifically to sports, local, international and business news sections.
For Clark to have an argument with his boss over whether to write about Batman or a local sports game, either Perry would have to be trying to assign him to something that's completely outside his contract or Clark was pushing to write a story over which he should had absolutely zero mandate to cover in the first place.
And given Clark's limited journalistic credentials and experience (unless he was taking accredited university courses between all that longshoreman fishing and table waiting), I'm betting it's the latter.
It's his paper, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
Also it's been a year and a half since MoS, give Clark some fucking credit that he could improve his credentials between then and now.

It's exactly the way journalism works. You've never been in a high-powered newsroom, I can tell. Maybe at your podunk town's middle school newsletter it doesn't work that way, but in the most important city in the world's top newspaper it most certainly does and I know because I've been there.
Don't just make posts when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Congrats. You now realize most Hollywood movies are the fantasy of 60+ year olds who are still stuck in their 1980s philosophy.

For the most part it works exactly that way. When Superman was invented it definitely worked that way.

>It is hard for many to absorb the true magnitude of the change in the news business — 40 percent of newspaper-industry professionals have lost their jobs over the past decade — in part because readers can absorb all the news they want from social-media platforms like Facebook, which are valued in the tens and hundreds of billions of dollars and pay nothing for the “content” they provide to their readers. You have to have skin in the game — to be in the news business, or depend in a life-or-death way on its products — to understand the radical and qualitative ways in which words that appear in familiar typefaces have changed. Rhodes singled out a key example to me one day, laced with the brutal contempt that is a hallmark of his private utterances. “All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus,” he said. “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

Why didn't Clark just post about it on his blog if he cared so much? If Perry started leaving hater comments Clark could block him.

Because the guy that makes these threads is secretly an extremely ass-blasted DC fanboy. Take note: I said fanboy, not fan.
Fanboy faggots like this sit around all day obsessing over "muh " like they're the only person on the planet that understands the characters and has a say, no a God-given right, to dictate the direction they're taken in by the people who actually do this shit for a living. It lets them cower inside the delusions of all the things they *could* do if given "the chance." With fanboy faggots it's always about those "chances," because by deluding themselves into believing these chances originate from anywhere besides them getting off their fat, complacent asses and applying themselves, it's not their fault that they're just gutless losers spouting bile and vitriol behind the veil of anonymity a site like this provides for them.
This guy's deep in the closet with his fanboy faggotry, because this just goes so far beyond what a person who just wasn't a fan of the IPs could muster. If I were solely a Marvel fan, I doubt I could muster much beyond casual indifference for DC's properties. No, this undiscovered country of asspain can only come from someone who feels deeply betrayed, and is such an entitled little fuck about it that this whole board must tolerate daily infusions of his impotent, puerile rage.

Why didn't Wayne just buy out the Daily Planet and make it his official propaganda paper or even just dismantle the whole thing?
Not like it would be expensive, they were probably hemorrhaging money anyway on account of being a newspaper outlet in the post-smartphone era.

That's why Superman had to die. He's the sacrifice that kicks off the Heroic Age and heralds the resurgence of magic and hope to a dark, cynical world. He died for our sins, those sins being that we demand our "heroes" be grounded in a reality more like ours instead of trying to make our world more like theirs.
Open your eyes. Look up to the skies and see.
Charles Nelson
you picked a field where you literally make your own work and you haven't found a job? you just don't know how to into journalism, loser. you want big daddy warbucks to guide your hand instead of... doing journalism! I am lolling at your Sup Forums losers. Lolling.
