| [Vigilant] "During a WEF discussion at Davos entitled ’Defending Truth,’ Wall St. Journal EIC Emma Tucker lamented this loss of control over ’the facts,’" ZeroHedge reported. "There's our 'facts' and the truth. Sometimes they are even close" She said: "I think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal ... If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well." Tucker continued: "If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact ... Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news, and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying." |

| #1 The 'trust' arose when journalism was a trade and not a college accreditation. That was when there was at least some sensitivity to significant declines in readership as a signal that you were doing something wrong. |
