Getting Ready
The mainstream media are getting ready for the Trump presidency. They anticipate a rough time from his administration and they will get it. Nevertheless, they are dedicated to reporting the facts whether the facts support Trump's views and behavior or not. It's not going to be easy and editors will insist on thorough corroboration of details as they should be doing already. Mainstream media's safety will be meticulous processes of vetting before publishing while social media vomit misinformation and lies. There are bound to be mistakes but it will be a measure of professionalism to admit them quickly and repair copy rather than fighting a losing battle. The next four years (and maybe, more) will be a test of integrity and whether the mainstream media can maintain it.
