Award-Winning Investigative Journalist Launches New Media Outlet (John Solomon)
CICION News Wire ^ | January 16, 2020

Posted on 01/16/2020 12:13:39 PM PST by Hojczyk

Today, award-winning journalist, media commentator, and digital media innovator John Solomon announced the creation of a new media outlet called Just the News, that will address the growing need for fact-based, impartial news and compelling digital content. JusttheNews.com will deliver exclusive news, podcasts, books, polling and video content showcasing some of the most respected and trusted journalists and editors in news media today.

Solomon, who has worked as a journalist and executive for the last quarter century at The Hill, The Washington Times, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, Newsweek and The Daily Beast, has built a reputation on sound investigative journalism that has led to major news exclusives and exposés addressing some of the biggest national stories in history, from the Clinton impeachment and Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks to the most recent Russia and Ukraine scandals.

More hires and partnerships are expected to be announced in the next few weeks, and the JusttheNews.com website is slated to launch within the next month, Solomon said.

Just the News has announced an initial team of senior contributing writers that includes David Brody, the long-time correspondent from the Christian Broadcasting Network; former CNN political director Christine Dolan, whose investigative work on sex trafficking and child exploitation has generated worldwide attention; and Lee Smith, author of the best-selling book The Plot Against The President. The site also expects to commission content from a wide-range of national journalists who include Sharyl Attkisson, an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist formerly at CBS and CNN who currently hosts the weekly show "Full Measure" on Sinclair Broadcast Group; and Peter Schweizer, the best-selling author of such books as Clinton Cash and Secret Empires.

I hear Solomon all the time on DC’s WMAL. He’s one of the few great reporters remaining. His site can help develop some more. Will check it out soon.

Good luck to him and his venture. I remember when Drudge was full of promise. Alas, Drudge has gone bye-bye!

Again, good luck to Solomon!

he is what journalism USED always claimed to be
. . . and never was.  
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)
. . . and the wire services are nothing other than continual virtual meetings of all major journalism. You have to be naive as a babe to believe that journalism is objective, and that all words (“liberal,” “moderate,” “progressive,” “centrist” . . .) which connote political virtue actually mean “in accordance with the political perspective of the journalism cartel.”

I regret to inform John Solomon that the rules for commercial success in journalism - “If it bleeds, it leads” and “‘Man Bites Dog,’ not ‘Dog Bites Man’” - are negative towards society. If your coverage is negative towards society, and if you claim to be objective, you are actually cynical towards society. And cynicism towards society corresponds to naiveté towards government. Corresponds, that is, to socialism . . .
