While I can appreciate that "enough is enough", just referring to a simple guidebook may not be enough. Agreed, making an effort to step outside your echo chamber, seeking to fairly report both sides of an argument and reporting all the facts, not just those convenient to your argument, may be a good start, but it probably is not good enough. My three decades of experience in newsrooms has taught me that the more fair you think you are, the less objective you have become, and the more "fact-based" you believe your reporting to be, the greater the role that opinion has taken in your approach to research.

Journalists, today, do not just report to their echo chamber, they have been raised and educated within it, and not only do they not acknowledge that there is another side to the story, they do not recognize that one exists, nor that there are any facts other than those accepted as valid by other members of their limited social/intellectual circle. Nor is your worthy reference to journalism ethics relevant in an Internet media landscape where insight and empathy is no longer built by years reporting everything from births to obituaries, house fires, car accidents, street fairs and street crime, not just for a social circle but for an entire community.
