National News Media Standards Act. 2020

We have to find a long term solution to monitor and enforce news organizations and reporting standards. We must have non-biased news organizations and reporters who report accurately the facts. If they must offer non-confirmed information, they must so state it at the time of reporting.

Any new organization or reporter who fails to truthfully report, must be sanctioned for each violation of the NNMSAct. If they continue to report incorrectly, the fines increase exponentially.

The accuracy of reporting by new organizations and their individual reports must be tracked and reported monthly to the public. Long term tracking statistics must be shown for reporting accuracy to help the public understand which news organizations and individual reporters are the most accurate new reporting sources.

Violations may vary from individual fines of news organizations, or reporters, to suspension of FCC licenses.

The monitoring agency created by this Act must be non-political such as the Office of Inspector General.

Over time, this Act would recenter current News reporting outlets to reporting truthful news events to the public.

Monitoring and reporting of News organizations and reporters would force standards of performance that might save journalism in the future.
