And then journalistic integrity was used for a short time so we knew articles were true. And then that went all out the window. All we need to do is maintain the concept of journalistic integrity for the internet.
journalism helped, but a newspaper could be bought at any time (murdoch, sky, fox anyone?) so trusting journalists was hit and miss for the novice. in practice we made our own judgements on which media we trusted and tended to bookmark that as our trusted source. even when reading our most trusted writer, we still need to read critically. that's my point: we should never look for the one true new source, or technical fixes; we need to have the skills to read and absorb all news critically.
