Given the litany of imperfections with the journalistic process outlined in this series, it would seem the news media has an opportunity to set new standards of accountability. Clearly, like the cotton gin, the day of old media is over. And despite some hints, nobody knows just yet where new media will take the news business.
In the meantime, if what�s left of journalism wants to be viewed as credible rather than laughable, things will have to change. Here are my suggestions to both ease the transition into whatever is next for news, as well as to present a more honest front for an industry with a noted credibility problem.
