This is such a bad take that you actually made me laugh out loud. Not trying to be negative but I believe you need to discuss the idea with real people before going all-in. There are plenty of misinformation in any "legit" newspaper. Journalist also isn't a protected title in a lot of countries so anyone can call themselves a journalist. It doesn't automatically make your claims true. On the contrary, a lot of people go into journalism because they are passionate about certain topics, similar to activists.
- jaredwiener 3y agoWe have an editorial policy that defines how we see journalists and reporting, and what is and isn't allowed: https://www.forth.news/docs/editorial https://www.forth.news/docs/editorial I know journalism has a bad rap in some circles, but most reporters are genuinely trying to share real stories.

- ahahahahah 3y agoYou seem to have missed the point. You claimed that it was due to only having journalists that you wouldn't have hate speech or misinfo. Except many journalists spew that shit constantly. If you aren't having those things its not due to the fact that journalists are in some way above them, it's because of something else you are doing. In fact, I would consider your original claim to be "misinfo", so I hope you aren't spreading it on your fancy new site.
