For f... sake, newspapers. You seriously need to start thinking about what impact your reporting has on the public.

Take this headline. Sounds pretty bad, right?

So what impact will this have when people see this? Well, it's obvious. You are fueling the anti-vaxxers. Right?!

Well, then you read the article, and it says this:

And then at the bottom of the article, it says this:

And then in another article, we can read this:

And then in a fourth article, when a newspaper finally waited to publish this story until they actually had some real information, we can read that this person wasn't given the vaccine at all.

So, I ask you again, newspapers. What impact did your headline have? You very strongly indicated that this death was linked to the vaccine. But in your story, you tell people that no such link exist.

But you also know that most people will only see the headline.

This is the kind of shenanigans I see in the press every day. Forget about fake news on Facebook, this is way worse because we have a massive audience and people think we are a reliable source.

But then we do this.

As newspapers, we have a higher level of responsibility.

We are the place people can turn to for reliable and trustworthy information, a role that is protected by the "freedom of the press".

But with this power comes great responsibility... which we fail to live up to.

As a media analyst, I'm so frustrated by this. Every day I see examples like this where we violate the most basic ethical standards of journalism and journalistic responsibility. And we are doing it during a worldwide pandemic, thus undermining efforts to stop this virus.

I can guarantee you that more people will refuse to be vaccinated once the trials are over because of articles like these.

We did this in the media. We are causing direct harm to society.

It has to stop!

Seriously. Stop it!

And now news sites are posting these headlines on social channels.

Seriously newspapers. Give me one reason why Twitter shouldn't block this. This headline is directly misleading and harming public health.

For possible reason should this be allowed to be shared on Twitter?

If it was a celebrity who did something like this, your own journalists would be all over it, calling on the social channels to stop it.

It's infuriating. This is violating everything journalism is supposed to stand for.
