White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest held his last briefing yesterday, and today, just two days before Trump takes office, Earnest let journalists know that it’s time to go to work:

No kidding!

Journalists' role was also important the last 8 years. You just decided to be propagandists for Obama/Hil instead.

Earnest need not worry, because there does indeed seem to be a Trump-triggered media awakening.
