Telling “both sides” of a story. Maintaining “neutrality” and “balance” in
news reporting. In theory, it all sounds great, but if that’s the case,
how are conspiracy theories and the right-wing bad actors propagating them
more powerful than ever?
Before we get into it, [ [link removed] ]can you help power our innovative journalism by
pitching in today?
Good journalism provides facts, context, history, and fact-checking. Above
all else, good journalism tells the truth, no matter what.
Yet many mainstream media outlets like CNN fail to meet these standards,
clinging to outdated ideals like “telling both sides” of a story or
maintaining “balance” in reporting.
We’ve seen that model fail for too long. By putting so-called “balance”
first, everyone gets a platform, even con artists like Donald Trump and
conspiracy theorists who push everything from QANON lies about election
interference to climate denialism.
As a result, it’s no wonder 185 million Americans don’t trust the news.
At COURIER, we always put the truth first. Our mission is to bring
transformational change to American journalism. We don’t platform
right-wing extremists and their dangerous BS, and we serve communities who
don’t have access to quality, local journalism.
And, we do all this without a paywall or subscription fees because we
believe good information should be accessible to everyone in the online
spaces where people actually get their news.
Our network of nine newsrooms offers credible and trustworthy journalism
as an alternative to the mainstream media’s overly sensationalized
headlines and profit-driven motives, but to keep the lights on in our
newsrooms, we rely on grassroots supporters like you. [ [link removed] ]Can you chip in
