CMV: People who work in journalism need to publicly disclose their familial connections, romantic connections and friendships with politicians or political organizations.

How should they do this? Im not really sure. Maybe just having a page on their website or paper thats dedicated to disclosing potential conflict of interests. What inspired me to create this post was that I was recently reading an article that outlined several familial and romantic connections between Canadian politicians and journalists. I think having these connections outlined would contribute to restoring some people's faith in media in an era of "fake news". I think it would go far in also helping inform readers on potential biases.

I mean even if they did how many people would really use this information? 

I mean that genuinely. When was the last time you purposefully looked up a journalist's page and took the time to read up on all their potential connections? When was the last time you even read the name of the person writing the article. This is one of those things that sounds really nice and simple on paper but not so much in practice

Here's another question of all those connections how many did you then note had lied or otherwise falsified information? Can you point me to any article they wrote and show me how these connections influenced them to do so?

If a journalist lies or covers up or refuses to print a story; then trust other journalists to report the truth both of said connection (as they did in that article) and the true situation as it stands. 

I get wanting unbiased news, but making journalists; some of whom make a habit of pissing off powerful people with the articles they write, is just a good way to give every troll and extremist a perfect list of targets more than anything.
