No, it doesn't work that way.
News organizations, like people, make mistakes. It's how they address those mistakes that matter.
- curiousgeorgio 10y agoReputation doesn't work that way, I'm afraid. If genuine mistakes are made, those responsible admit those mistakes and issue corrections. When that happens, one's reputation can remain mostly intact.
- astrodust 10y agoThat's exactly why I'm saying it's not the mistakes that matter, but the corrections and the handling of them.
- curiousgeorgio 10y agoYes, and the failure to admit and correct a large number of mistakes (or lies) is exactly why so many media organizations have lost credibility.
