gloom

Is there any sort of penalty journalists / publishers face for publishing false or speculative statements as facts besides public disapproval? Like a board of journalism or something like that.

If not, what keeps them from being incentivized to stretch the truth as much as they can get away with?

I think Canada and England have strong laws about this afaik but it’s hard to enforce too many edge cases etc

Makes sense. It’s a slippery slope. There needs to be a better solution

Either Incentivize good journalism or disincentivize poor journalism.

There are facts to be reported and there is spin to be added. 

All spin is not bad though

Editorial layer functioned as “Proofs” of good journalism.

The halcyon days of Competitive journalism.
