Is there anything in place to ensure accountably of news releases in news organizations? I'm pretty sure that if enough of this happens; the reputation of the news organization will suffer.

News organisations are in the business of shaping public opinion and/or providing public entertainment. They're not in the business of encouraging informed debate - which is a minority interest at best, and bad for business at worst. So - no. There is no accountability in journalism or in media ownership.

- joeblau 12y agoSay I'm a news Agency with multiple broadcast mechanisms and I continually post incorrect information that in turn ends up destroying private citizens lives; Is there any recourse that private citizens can take against the organization? For example, can you take legal action for defamation of character?
