There
is a golden opportunity being missed, one that’s worth billions of dollars. Do
you want to know what it is?
A
media outlet that focuses on news, not just analysis, commentary, or opinions.
A
media outlet that practices true journalistic principles and does not let its
premiere coverage come off as an editorial.
A
media outlet that, when consumed by readers-listeners-viewers, could not easily
or consistently be labeled as liberal or conservative, but rather as neutral or
centrist.
A
media outlet that varies its coverage, both in the subjects it chooses to cover
and in the story angle approaches taken.
It should not be a crime on the cover, sports on the back, and puzzles in the middle. It should not be 24/7 obsession over one topic or one person. It cannot sound like RNC or DNC platform talking points. It should not leave us feeling sad or angry all of the time, nor should it merely make us feel good with no substantive reason for doing so.

Is
this possible?
Absolutely!
People
are tired of viewing things through one lens. They are tired of trying to watch
30 minutes on Fox to balance out 30 minutes of MSNBC. They don’t want to work
so hard to question what is fake news, incompetent news, biased news, or real
news.
The
nation wants, needs, and deserves a better media. The news media has many, many
challenges. Economically, journalistically, and politically.
Is it possible to craft a media outlet that really seeks to get to the facts, present them in a fair way, and pushes away from the media-personality and gossip/opinion approach taken by so many news channels?

The
media is not a united industry. Each media outlet competes with the other – for
attention, ad dollars, and journalistic talent. Almost all of the media outlets
fall short – consistently – of what they should be doing. America is less
informed today than a generation ago, even though it consumes far more
information than ever before.
How could this be?
How could this be?
Garbage
in, garbage out. We are inundated with slanted media pieces, from online to
television, or radio to newspapers and magazines.
The time is ripe for someone to launch a new media outlet, one that actually is dedicated to the news and facts. It would be a novelty.
And it could make billions.
