Usage of the term “fact-based journalism” began escalating right as the term “fake news” took off in popularity. The term’s use in the news industry may have been a response to the prevalence of “fake news” discourse within politics and the media. #journalism #fake_news https://lnkd.in/gmae-dy3

A closer look into NPP’s 2024 policies for Media and Journalism

Journalism as a public good

Journalism all over the world is not what it once was. Journalism has become biased, skewed, and overly dependent on sponsors. Enter Yellow Page journalism, and Paid journalism. In my article on the challenges journalism faces today, I have explored how journalism is becoming far more sensational and dangerous. Sensationalism, TRP ratings, sponsorships, and power politics have all overshadowed what used to be a pillar of democracy. #yellow_page_journalism #sensationalism_in_journalism https://lnkd.in/drjj5FDR

An Illinois lawmaker introduced a policy that could complement or catalyze some of the ideas graciela mochkofsky outlines. The bill, introduced by Sen. Steve Stadelman, would provide scholarships to in-state students studying journalism in the state and who commit to working in-state for at least two years after graduation. These policies could also be complementary to a fellowship program like the ones in California, New Mexico and Washington or efforts like the ones Graciela outlines. There are also a lot of ways you could tinker with the eligibility and scope depending on the needs of a state. The proposal is in Section 95 of the bill: https://lnkd.in/ehNrUun6 (As a total aside: This bill is sprawling and should be used as a grab bag for any state or jurisdiction trying to think creatively about supporting the future of the local press)

Podcast alert! https://lnkd.in/dPdeKxuC The Loop visits Anuška Delić, founder and editor-in-chief of Oštro, a Slovenia-based investigative journalism project that covers the Adriatic region. Oštro is based on 4 pillars: Investigative and data journalism, defending the right to information and developing future generations of journalists. The latter is first and foremost done by involving young journalists in fact-checking. When founding Oštro, Anuška Delić knew that she wanted to include a fact-checking unit: “In my former job, I realized so many times that we published things that could have been so much better, if someone spent an hour [on fact-checking]. But it didn’t exist in Slovenian media, we don’t even have a word in Slovenian for fact-checking.” “So, we established the unit, and I quickly realized that it was excellent training. Through fact-checking, journalists learn a lot that they will not learn in school or in other Slovenian media. They learn to think critically, view and assess information, documents and sources. They learn how to navigate various databases, a lot of things. Eventually we start giving them small research tasks and they slowly progress towards investigating.” Two dozen young journalists have been trained at Oštro this way, but unfortunately, many talented journalists leave the profession again, Delić says. The attitude towards journalism and media is toxic in Slovenia, and there are very bad verbal attacks and even threats towards journalists. Listen to the episode to hear more about the fight against disinformation and hateful content, the education and re-education of journalists and the situation for media and non-profits in Slovenia and Croatia.

Attacks on journalists – including murder – are at record highs. Journalism was not created for the messenger to be shot. While you can kill the journalist, you can’t kill the story, writes David Walmsley, Editor-in-Chief of The Globe and Mail, Canada and creator of World News Day.
