Have been craving a Journalism show for a while… does feel like one way to help us out of the trust crisis. Thanks for sharing in this clever serialized way.
But journalism doesn’t eat its own anywhere near enough. Way too many Pulitzer winners, New York Times folk are known to fabricate, sexually assault, Reuters bosses known to bully, be negligent in war zones, etc. This is all documented as well as the best investigations (and has been shared in writing with the news outlets, Pulitzer committee, etc). Yet no one is willing to even acknowledge this—let alone do anything. I love what you’ve done, but let’s not pretend it’s even close to sufficient across the industry.
Nicely written Ed...I wrote something a few weeks back as well on the issue. https://nooneplannedthis.substack.com/p/why-trust-in-reporting-still-matters?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer
