The Crimes of the Others”- journalist magazine
What needs to change in how journalism covers crime and the police?
this report explores the urgent question:
Can journalists afford to blindly trust police sources?
The answer: No.
Relying solely on official statements risks turning
journalism into a mouthpiece for law enforcement
and letting potential errors or biases go unchallenged.
Yes, verifying independent sources takes more effort but,
it protects the core of what journalism should be:
critical, independent, accountable.
