BARI WEISS NEW EDITOR IN CHIEF FOR CBS SETS THE TONE In her first letter as Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, she lays out 10 principles, not flashy, not partisan, just true north journalism. 1. Reporting the world as it actually is. 2. Holding both political parties to equal scrutiny. 3. Rushing toward stories that matter, not just those that trend. 4. Respecting the audience enough to tell the truth plainly, wherever it leads. It’s a breath of fresh air in an industry that’s often lost in noise, bias, and clickbait. If even a fraction of newsrooms took this approach seriously, trust in media might start to rebuild itself. At the Foundation Gathering, we’ve been talking about this exact issue, how to restore integrity and independence in how stories are told. Maybe this is the beginning of a new chapter for journalism. Or at least, a reminder of what it’s supposed to be. #BariWeiss #CBSNews #Journalism #Media #UK
Bari Weiss’ principles are refreshing. True journalism should always prioritize integrity over sensationalism. Let’s hope these values inspire deeper trust in the media landscape. 📺

5moIt's not a breath of fresh air to say any of these things. It'll be a breath of fresh air if the actions match the words. Words are absolutely meaningless, especially today. Accountability requires action. I also harbor healthy suspicion of the "holding both political parties to equal scrutiny" line. Unbiased coverage doesn't mean equal scrutiny. It means telling the truth. Sometimes, that may mean holding both parties accountable. Sometimes, it will mean holding one or the other accountable. It depends on what is happening. If one party is, for example, ushering in an age of unprecedented governmental overreach, I'd like for that to be the primary topic of discussion.
