This is like iteration 28 of this same exact suggestion and it is as bad an idea for as many reasons now as it has been ever.
-
Aside of all the reasons it's a terrible idea, I like how alljournalists think Facebook or its users will automatically respect a Journalist
-
And that a Journalist would sweep in with their press cards and AP Style and automatically fix everything.
-
Like did you read the working conditions of the last set of editors Facebook employed?
-
You think your journalism job is shitty? Wait till it is in Facebook's basement conference room.
-
And has the election not made abundantly clear that the avg Facebook user don't care what Journalists have to say?
-
Hi! *The problem is that a significant portion of American public doesn't trust journalists!* Being employed by Facebook doesn't fix this.
-
I believe in the power and responsibility of Journalism; I also know that I shouldn't assume everyone everywhere shares that belief.
-
What you are forgetting is that, for a significant portion of users, Facebook is working exactly how they want it to.
-
The problem is people
-
Stop pushing your readers to literally any other platform than your own. Do you really want to tell readers 'trust Facebook 1st, us 2nd'?
-
I don't understand why it is so hard to stop asking Facebook to do your job for you.
-
It is the job of journalism to explain its utility & trustworthiness to the public. Do that instead of complaining about FB. Please.
