Content Integrity

Whether a media figure or outlet clearly distinguishes between news reporting and opinion or commentary.

Why it matters

When audiences cannot tell whether they are reading fact or opinion, they cannot evaluate information appropriately.


What good looks like

An outlet with clearly labeled news and opinion sections.


What poor practice looks like

A cable news host who makes factual assertions in a format that mimics news reporting without labeling it opinion.
