Is it for fame, or is it something more?<\/p>\n<p>I love how the story dares to comment on the current state of journalism, with traditional print giving way to online gossip and clickbait sites for sources of news. Fitz laments about the way things used to be and doesn&#8217;t fully grasp the new age of online reporting, which tends to focus more on garnering views from viral sensations while important local news ends up <em>buried<\/em> under the fluff. This story highlights the very real power that online connectivity can have with true journalism.<\/p>\n<p>I also loved the mystery here, it was engaging enough and gives the reader all the parts to piece together. It was a fun read and <strong>Buried<\/strong> is easily the best story in the entire <strong>Hushed Collection<\/strong>. If I were to recommend one to read, it would be this one over all of the others.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<strong>Real journalists<\/strong> dig, they background, they research. <strong>They&#8217;re fucking pains in the ass<\/strong> housing subjects for statements.
