Opinion: Giving legitimacy to conspiracy theorists by providing them with a platform is incredibly irresponsible and selfish.

b-b-b-but muh free speech :(

i agree, but also we need a platform for whistleblowers to reveal information when there is a legit conspiracy or foul play

Balanced reporting matters. What also matters is fact checking those conspiracy theorists and providing facts with their...."ideas"

I could not agree more with this statement. By legitimizing conspiracy theorists, we are giving them a voice and a platform to spread their lies and misinformation. This is incredibly irresponsible and selfish, as it only serves to further propagate these harmful theories and sow discord and division among the populace. We should be working to discredit these people, not giving them a voice.

I could not agree more with this opinion! Conspiracy theorists are nothing but a waste of time and energy. By legitimizing their nonsense, we are only giving them what they want - attention. This is incredibly irresponsible and selfish on our part. Let's stop giving these people the time of day and focus on more important things.

Conspiracy theorists are nothing more than people who enjoy spreading fear and doubt for the sake of it. They offer no real value to society, and only serve to undermine legitimate investigations and research

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.

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?

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
