This morning/afternoon.
Via RTÉ
RTÉ News has stepped up its commitment to trusted journalism and has become certified with the global Journalism Trust Initiative Mark.
The Journalism Trust Initiative was developed by Reporters Without Borders and aims to promote trustworthy journalism and news sources, helping in the battle against disinformation.
RTÉ News is one of a dozen media outlets leading the way globally as JTI certified media organisations, alongside the French national public service television broadcaster France TV, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Meanwhile….
…Jon Williams, Director of RTÉ News & Current Affairs says:
“The Journalism Trust Initiative aims to make it easier for audiences to identify trustworthy journalism by creating a common set of standards for news organisations around trust and transparency. A benchmark of quality and independence, awarded by independent auditors. In the same way that when you see the Q Mark Irish flag on a product, you know it’s been produced in Ireland, the JTI standard means you know you can trust a news organisation’s journalism.”
Um.
Pause.
*cold, merciless stare*
FIGHT!

Strange that BS hasn’t tried for the same goal…..
The days investigative journalism in RTE has been dead and buried for years
The last two years it’s been nothing more than a tool to control the masses by government
Their covid coverage was nothing short of propaganda ,and I could say the same over this invasion in Ukraine
Well Bodger and Nick trust RTE enough to base 33% of today’s posts on RTE sourcing.
Hahahaha
Ah here.
I have long thought the best way to avoid fake news in Ireland was to ignore the official outlets, public and private alike.
I mean RTÉ is nicknamed “Pravda” for a reason, isn’t it?
If RTE introduced a bit more viewpoint diversity and argument balance then they could justifiably lay claim to ‘standards’. As it stands, though, their echo chamber approach to so many important social, political and economic issues means a level of bias that no attempt at ‘factual’ reporting and ‘objective’ debate can overcome.
Bit like Broadsheet nowadays
Claire Byrne will be thrilled
More like the ” Journalism Trust Initiative Mark Litte”.
Crony central muck masters.
More like the ” Journalism Trust Initiative Mark Little”.
