The advantage of working for a public broadcaster, as I did, is that people have independence, unlike what happens in the private sector. There's a good chance that your contract will be terminated if you don't do what the boss tells you in the private sector. That is how the private sector works. Everyone knows. That is not at all the case when you work for a public broadcaster. You can say what you want to say and report on the news that needs to be covered. No one interferes in your editorial independence.
For the last 10 years of my career, I worked on the digital side, and it was the same there. The only difference between digital, radio and television is that digital is forever. Of course, TV and radio news coverage has to be accurate and reliable, but that is 10 times more important in the digital world because digital is forever. The information can be read over and over again.
Furthermore, if anything that was reported is found not to be true, there is a responsibility to correct that information. You know that a news organization is reliable when it corrects its own errors. Everyone makes mistakes. It happens everywhere. No one is perfect, but when mistakes are made, they are corrected. That is how you know a media organization is responsible, reasonable and reliable.
