I have had this idea for so long.
A Crowd-News Watch Dog which basically works like a wikipedia + archive.org + IMDB for News Reporting. There you can have profile for journalists or any content writers. You can basically see what a journalist has wrote about in her/his entire life. Political inclinations deducted from writings by crowd.
The article written can be critiqued in the platform using a set of pre-defined set of rules. If the reporter is found employing strawman or fallacies or incorrectly reporting based on botched data/ statistical mumbo-jumbo, the commentary can be added by anyone and verified by other community members.
I think it can keep rampant fake news and/or politically-charged posts masquerading as neutral pieces in check.
- nukeop 8y agoThis would very quickly devolve into either a hardcore bullying platform, or a banfest of everyone who criticizes the favorite people of the site's owner, his friends, and moderators.
- ai_ia 8y agoIf an argument put forward by the article doesn't abide by journalistic principles and is bad and crtiques offer why it is bad with coherent counter-argument, I believe there can be a middle ground somewhere.
