Journalism, done right, is enormously powerful precisely because it does not seek power. It seeks truth.

Trouble is Journalism doesn't seek truth. Journalism seeks to be read - Journalism seeks viewers. Science seeks truth. Well, we like to think so. Science actually seeks grant funding. Science seeks to be interesting.

The challenge of information technology is facilitating the search for truth. Building an infrastructure for truth. Building a process that truly seeks the truth and a system for engaging in that process.

Because the truth is badly needed.

And the truth isn't always what viewers want.
