For one thing, that is simply the professional obligation of journalists, in my view. I'm a traditionalist in this respect. Report the facts. Pay attention to the quality of your writing (e.g. avoid confusing jargon). But don't try to influence readers' behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Or if you DO want to influence behavior, make that transparent. Nothing wrong IMO with writing an editorial saying "HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD WEAR A MASK". Just make clear that's what you're doing, instead of infusing it into your reporting of straight news stories. — PolitiTweet.org
