I agree that subject matter experts are essential for quality news reporting. The choice of those experts can be subjective and questionable sometimes. It's never going to be a perfect situation since we're dealing with humans.
I would love to see opinion pieces removed from newspapers. I've had so many passed on to me with "You should read this article to understand what I mean...".
