what sets us apart

Accountability & Transparency

Local broadcasters are subject to regulations and standards set by bodies like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which helps ensure that their reporting is accurate and fair. In contrast, unregulated online news sources can spread misinformation without consequences. According to a Stanford Internet Observatory study, unregulated online platforms are significant sources of misinformation, as they lack the oversight that traditional media has.

what sets us apart

Misinformation Resistance

Research from the Reuters Institute shows that misinformation is more prevalent on social media and unregulated websites. Only 24% of Americans believe they can find accurate information on social media, compared to 55% who trust local TV news. The study also found that local journalists are more likely to correct errors quickly, reducing the impact of any mistakes.

Unbiased Reporting

 Local journalists prioritize balanced reporting and are less likely to push an agenda, as their credibility is closely tied to their relationship with the community. Furthermore, their network partner does not influence or dictate their coverage or content decisions.

Dedicated Resources

Local broadcasters often have dedicated resources, including investigative teams that focus on accuracy and depth in their reporting. Columbia Journalism Review highlighted that local newsrooms, though smaller than national counterparts, often dedicate more resources to verifying facts and maintaining journalistic integrity.
