Journalists need to learn the basic ethics. Take sides when you analyze, don't take sides when you seek facts. Edit to write sharper articles, don't edit to take people's words out of context. Be creative to find truth, don't be creative to fit everything into your own narrative, and certainly don't fabricate history to win Pulitzer.

- hilbert42 6y agoNot only is learning ethics essential for them but also we have to pay journalists in ways other than having them work for media organizations whose income is based on ratings. Chasing ratings has ruined many news organizations over the past 50 or so years. Given the structure of reporting today, I don't see how that can be achieved in any easy way.
- powerapple 6y agoWe have journalists. Then we have sponsored news outlets. We have websites sponsored by different groups. What about an average person? he is not equipped with money and technology to publish his opinion in a very meaningful and informative way. We can solve this problem. I am looking to have something like a WordPress for news, where we can use open source technology to curate news, do news analytics and publish. If you believe the majority of people are kind and trustworthy, and if they are able to express themselves to compete with sponsored outlets, we may be able to do it.
