Yeah, it's about free market economy's downside in the field of journalism. The guys who deliver the freelance material are called stringers. Nightcrawler is simply excellent in highlighting the aspects of journalism; how it can be exploited and go morally wrong. As so many times with other things, a lot depends on an individual. That's all still better than having a nazi, commie or religious censorship though.

yeah, and that was the stomach revolting part - jake character is a bit out of it - i can understand him. the people in charge of the station though, they should have had the moral compass - to be fair some did, just not the person in charge, and that happens everywhere, not just journalism - one just needs to look at some of the world leaders today!
