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?
