For one, there will be a significant drop in fear mongering click baiting news. The industry needs a hard reset.

While most news orgs need schooling, what a hard reset typically means is some action that would expand the growing news vacuum absolutely.

What we see filling the existing vacuum is worse than worthless content. It is patently false content (often posing as local news), specifically crafted to advance harm-based agendas. That would seem to indicate a hard reset isn't the way forward.
