Target: Major national media organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News, and Associated Press
Goal: Our goal is to call on major media organizations to commit to higher journalistic standards, transparency in sourcing, and accountability for errors, ensuring the public receives accurate information essential for a functioning democracy.
Over the past months, several high-profile media narratives have been exposed as misleading or inaccurate, contributing to public confusion and mistrust. From the misrepresentation of crime statistics in Washington D.C., to premature conclusions about international events and economic policy impacts, and the amplification of unsubstantiated allegations, the pattern is clear: sensationalism and partisanship are undermining the vital role of the press.
Journalism should be grounded in evidence, transparency, and a commitment to the truth. When media outlets fail to correct errors or disclose their sources and methodologies, the public pays the price. This damages not only the credibility of the press but also the health of our democracy.
We urge leading media organizations to take immediate action to restore public trust, prioritize accuracy over speed, and provide transparent corrections when mistakes are made. The public deserves a press that informs, not misleads.
Key Demands
- Implement clear and public editorial standards requiring rigorous fact-checking and transparency in sourcing.
- Establish independent ombudsman offices to review and address complaints of inaccurate or misleading reporting.
- Promptly and prominently correct errors or misrepresentations in published stories, with explanations of what was changed and why.
- Disclose potential conflicts of interest and the qualifications of expert sources cited in reporting.
- Commit to regular public reporting on internal accountability measures and improvements in journalistic practices.
