Some rules to help journalists avoid the mistakes of 2016 in 2024:
– Ban repeat liars from live interviews
– Never put a lie in the headline
– Use a truth sandwich when reporting on lies
– Don’t take the bait (stop rewarding drama with visibility)
– Abandon the social media algorithm (don’t let Xitter dictate the news cycle)
Any others?
