it’s back to the old journalistic practices of verifying sources with a second source.
that has as a necessary pre-requirement that people are actually interested enough in an objective truth that they’re willing to pay some journalist to do the research.
is that really the case anymore? I can see it being useful in the 20th century when people were interested in new economic developments and stuff
Journalists don’t verify anything these days, because their bosses are focused on being the first to publish. Doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong, the article only exists to get the advertising to load.
