Is there a way for news organizations to visually tag their reporting different from opinions, ads, everything else. I'm thinking green? So when people reading can get a feel for facts versus analysis. I know the veracity of what should be GreenPrint and other still depends on the integrity of the organization, but at least it would force the readers, writers, editors to give it another thought. And readers would get in the habit of being critical of their consumption.
In the same article, reporters could even differentiate specifically on what are pure facts and what are assumptions, analysis, rhetoric, etc. In the current quasi-truth word we live in, some efforts to find a way to call it out might be in the best interest of the less-discerning public.
