Journalists believe news and opinion are separate, but readers can’t tell the difference - The Mail & Guardian

Add to this the fact that even readers who go to a paper’s homepage are met with news and opinion stories displayed graphically at the same level, connoting the same level of importance. And reporters share analysis and opinion on Twitter, further confusing readers.that casual readers might not be able to distinguish from what The New York Times designates as opinion.daily newspaper circulation was equivalent to 98% of U.S.

If news organisations such as The New York Times continue to maintain that a robust opinion section, separate from their news reports, serves to further the public conversation, then those institutions will need to do a better job of explaining to news consumers where – or if – the “wall” between news and opinion exists.
