CNN is kicking off a new series to discuss “challenges facing the media,” and Brian Stelter is leading the way.
The series, called “Free Press, What’s At Stake,” is meant to focus “on the challenges facing the media, under attack from critics, governments and changing technology.”
It was kicked off by CNN’s Brian Stelter, who penned a column published Sunday titled, “Whose freedom is it?”
Stelter wrote, “Press freedom is YOUR freedom. That’s the way I recommend thinking about ‘freedom of the press,'” adding, “it’s about MORE than just journalists. Turn it around. Recognize how protections for the press benefit each and every one of us, whether we’re reporting the news or reading about it.”
“When journalists uncover corporate wrongdoing and expose political cover-ups, we all benefit. When lawyers at a newspaper or a TV network gain access to government documents through the Freedom of Information Act, we all benefit,” he wrote.

Challenges that face the media
1) Learn to tell the f—ing truth.
2) Don’t play political favorites.
3) If you cannot back up your source’s story, WAIT until you can independently confirm the facts.
4) Just because some Hollywood celeb says it, doesn’t make it informed truth - or worth broadcasting.
Is this the Onion, Mad Magazine or the People's Cube?
LOL!
This series is just going to make things worse for CNN by drawing attention to all their Fake news stories.
...CNN calls it a FREE Press?....
‘Freedom’ in all venues does not exist for to do what you like but to do what you ought!....this certainly should be for the Press all the more.
Creating believable fiction?
Yes. They really do not get it.
