Well you all know what I think of surveys, but...
Survey finds journalism trust levels unchanged in 25 years
'Trust in journalists is not declining - it has always been low'
Well, that's ok then.

And here is the news... that we'd like to see
One expects certain newspapers, and their employees, to follow certain paths.
However, it seems these days some can wander so far off the track that they simply fall into a crevasse.
This week, Miliband made winning look possible again
Just look at the comments, especially by those asking why one earth they are being subjected to such blatant propaganda as wishful thinking that simply defies logic and insults intelligence. It is so crass that it almost gives credence to the notion that this is indeed some bizarre set-up.
I have to say it is about time some commentators and reporters were given cause to think before they write.

Quelle Surprise
Trust in journalists plummets - but estate agents come last in new survey
But they.. er, we... are still better than estate agents. Now there's a well-raised bar.
Stand by for some selective comparative editing from the sin-list attached.... BBC journalists were more trusted than either ITV or Ch4!!!! (er... at only 20%....down). Thing is, we pay for them.
Gaurdain - Land of the Frei
Is this the objective news reporter employee of our funded national broadcaster who I read claimed the surprising reason for his being so dissed was because, apparently, whatever it is going to be, it is going to be rude.
No wonder our news media are held in such high esteem, even by the public they appeal to... or not.

Easy for you to write
Trust me, dear reader
Whilst the sentiment is appreciated, anything that comes out of the mouths of most who engage with the public that starts with 'Trust me, ' is off to a poor start.

And here was me thinking it was the story that mattered
Seeing the world while the PR company picks up the bill...
There's just so much about this that troubles me I don't know where to start.
I thought it was a piece on journalistic objectivity and ethics.
Nope.
It's how to make the most of being paid for to spin a tale.

Corrections after the time of printing
No real comment, but it is an issue that interests me, and of which I wish stay abreast.
Guardian readers editor explains web corrections policy
Open door
It's tricky to be sure, but one that needs to be monitored. I am minded of a tailor who lets someone out their door in a fine suit, but then pats them on the back with a 'kick me' sign.
I personally think that, beyond minor typographical corrections, any substance has to be flagged.
In my blogs, these usually take the form of addenda, clearly labelled as new and in addition to the main body text.
Addendum:
I am indebted to a Biased BBC poster for sharing a pretty go (well, you choose a word) example of what is being discussed, citing a revision in the Indy.
