It is easy to see that the problem with the news industry is bias. On the left, on the right. Your industry must earn back some trust. Access isn't the issue so much as ethics. Remember, the stuff you learned in journalism school...?! I see this ad campaign as a smoke screen for the real problem. Another nail in the credibility coffin...
The Virginian-Pilot ran a full-page ad last week promoting its membership in News Media Alliance. I wonder what other journalists think of the headline linked below, given that it contradicts the facts in the story itself.
Where is coverage online of "Media Campaign to Fight Fake News" reported in hard copy by the San Diego Union-Tribune today?
News Dies in Darkness*
The legitimate news media need to unite with a massive outreach campaign to wrestle back its credibility and respect.
The Trumpov administration is careening dangerously close to locking out the news media. (See CNN link below)
While the president uses the up-to-the-moment technology of tweeting what random and or nasty and or stupid thoughts might spill out of his brain, his mouthpieces (Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders) are reverting back sometimes to pre-television and even pre-radio technology by foregoing and forbidding live TV and audio broadcast of news briefings (during which not much news is briefed).
So much happens so quickly these days that daily news briefings are necessary and should be expected by the American people. Sometimes the public forgets that the news media’s role is to be present in their (the public’s) absence and to ask questions that the public cannot ask or doesn’t know to ask.
Trump acts as if the news media is a nuisance his can accept or reject at his whim. He wants to communicate directly with the public–and the world–via Twitter. Fine. But the news media has the right and obligation to examine and report on the function of government (and every other aspect of public governmental, business, etc) activity.
The legitimate news media need to unite with a massive outreach campaign to wrestle back its credibility and respect.
Otherwise, Trump could well be the beginning of its end.
*With all due respect to The Washington Post’s “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
If anyone knows a newsroom that's looking for a place to view the Total Solar Eclipse in August, we can help them out. I've got a few hotel rooms we've held back for media (and lots of camping opportunities). Riverton, WY (Wind River Country) sits between the Natl Parks (Teton and YStone) and Casper. We are in the path of Totality, have hundreds of square miles of open space, and will have numerous activities going on. We are home to Wyoming's only Indian reservation, where various dance/song ceremonies will take place. Good wifi shored up for event. windriver.org, windrivereclipse.org
Came across this site. I put my opinion on it for what I think of the news media. Their bias toward TRUMP and protecting the truth about Killary and obumer' s crimes. Someone needs to start printing some truths, for our countries sake.
