I think that news organizations could learn from the sports world. Bob Mackenzie has become the official source of when something is a done deal because he doesn't jump the gun.
A news organization needs to establish themselves as this conveyor of truth. It means being thoroughly disciplined not to jump the gun. I believe that there should be a financial payoff for being the credible source of journalism.
In Canada this should be the default position of the CBC. They should never break any breaking news type story.
