As much as the "New Media" facilitates sharing of information, I think we need to figure out a way to better integrate rigorous (fact-checked) reporting into this medium, so that we have sources we know we can trust with the <strong>facts</strong>, as you say. Maybe that means newspapers need to figure out how to better establish a web presence. I think the New York Times is doing a decent job of that. But it's a work-in-progress. Thanks for writing this.
