That's the main problem isn't it? It would be nice if publications could opt in to putting some type of badge on an article that indicates it was written without corporate or political influence, with jail time if you lie. It's like writing content under oath. I think that would help visually distinguish news you can trust.
- CM30 8y agoWell, one of the features my own news platform had was a giant banner saying any influences behind the piece (like the presence of review copies, personal relationships with sources, etc), with the rule being that the platform would ban those who lied. So I guess that's like the flip side of this idea. But the issue is that regardless of what you do, controversy and biases will creep in for all kinds of reasons. Even if the company doesn't gain anything, the writer/creator likely gains from their work being heavily shared...
