I can see the appeal of building up celebrity tv stars to cover the world, reaching audiences that better-informed specialist journalism might not reach. But the tweet below shows it can be a risky strategy. Having said that.....https://twitter.com/mattkmoore/status/1158359630373933056 …

....there is a much feted specialist journalist in the Middle East whose mistakes in Arabic are often highlighted by his critics.https://al-bab.com/blog/2013/10/robert-fisks-comedy-errors …

As somebody who knows nothing about the Middle East, doesn’t speak Arabic and has barely visited the region, I wouldn’t have noticed mistakes by either Stacey Dooley or Robert Fisk. It really is “buyer beware” when it comes to foreign reporting.

And yet the cross-cultural and linguistic skills needed to avoid these mistakes are checkable & easily testable. And not just by media employers.

Indeed, famously so. Boris Johnson’s terrible reporting from Brussels is basically text book stuff on poor journalism. The EC has a brilliant “debunking myths” service for Fleet St nonsense about the EU.

And also the very dodgy shennanigans of the EC and others are not reported on. Part of the reason I cant see myself as part of it. The media has never taken EU reporting seriously, good or bad.
