Insane how many news outlets are out there and how so few of them are objective and unbiased.

I am a war correspondent, and during the war in Afghanistan I was one of the main reporters for the CBC, it is incredible how I was censored for wanting to show real content from the site. The media are puppets and they want us to be part of their game all the time, but I got fed up and quit.

The worst thing is to work for a tabloid media that is not objective, I tell you first hand.

i would probably lose it within the first month if i had to work for a tabloid, I can't imagine a worse fate than that as a writer lol

With the media in the hands of politicians or political friends, it is impossible for them to follow an objective line, unfortunately, the ethical arm of the media is bent by the interests of others.

I want to ask an open question, does anyone here consider that there are still ethical and objective media that do their job?

Yeah but it's rare to find them. I think the future of objective media lies in independent journalists working on their own through sites like Youtube, Patreon, etc...

I recently saw the movie Spotlight and it talks about an issue related to the Vietnam War, if we move away a little from the news that journalists want to show in the movie we can see how the same white house put pressure on the media to prevent the news from being published. It is a pity that as professionals many people are interested in not doing our job.

Sucks but yeah at the end of the day news outlets are businesses and integrity tends to be the cost of raising the bottom line

That's what happens when the news outlets are all run by a handful of oligarchs all trying to further their own interests by any means

Disgusting I agree, there are a few bastions of truth out there but it's almost pitiful how inaccessible proper news are

That’s because some are news in name only!

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?
