You've spelled out your policy, methods, and biases more clearly here than most major news organizations ever take the time to do. Well, done and thank you. I'll never understand why people and organizations have such a difficult time understanding that the ability to admit to and correct mistakes does not damage credibility. It inspires confidence.

"why you cant trust me" *video preview shows grave-sized hole in the middle of the desert"
Now, here’s how being trustworthy works, as far as I’m aware. When you make a statement, and it’s wrong, by admitting it is wrong, it shows you care about being truthful to the best of your ability, making you more reliable of a source
For me, this mainly shows how important “in person” investigation is.
Truly; weird how nobody commented
I read about a book about my own city written by a long term resident and I disagreed with some of the information written about it. That was around the point where I realized how important it is.

Nice work, I wish more people, even with research would say, "I don't know" instead of thinking they understand complex and changing situations that actually have unpredictable outcomes
A lot of English students are expected to write as if what they are saying is factual. It is wrong to write in an essay or SA that 'I believe this is the case' or 'This seems to be the case'. It is required that students write that 'This is the case'. Whilst, it works well for writing persuasively and showing confidence of one's efforts, it doesn't translate well into actual journalism, as it has caused people to state interpretive views as fact.
It's hard though, we like to think we understand things. Knowing that we know nothing is a bit depressing ha
I think it's strangely poetic yet also unsettling how seemingly no one who runs that town actually knows how it runs
Tom, tom. You must always remember the golden words of journalism: "Can you clarify this/something for me?" If you say "Well this says you're wrong", that's confrontational. If you say "Can you clarify this, because this says something different", you sound like you're actually asking the person to correct it.
Journalists often report opinion not facts, they're not qualified to determine fact but just report the fact that someone said X. Frankly anyone knowledgeable who's been close to a reported story, tends to be disappointed in how inaccurate reports are.
@@RobBCactive No, that's false.
Same thing when you work in tech support, you dont ask ”have you connected the power cable?”, you ask ”what happens when you connect the power cable?”.
@@RobBCactive Persons knowledgeable are not the intended audience of a news report. Yes, news articles may have errors, that's a given considering the writers are human and more often than not the facts are not as clear cut as one might believe.

Tom, I never regarded these videos as 'the absolute truth'. No one in their right mind really expects them to be.

Thank you for the hard work and the interesting stories and places you share with us.

It's just how things work. Everyone can be wrong, everyone can lie. Everyone does. I've never been a huge "GASP, YOU LIED TO ME" person. After all, the world's full of balance, and you can't have a surprise party without a lie. So, point of this comment. Nothing is right, nothing is wrong, just let things sit on that gray line, even science changes periodically, even though "the science" doesn't. We're human, don't expect yourself to know the whole story.
Yup 100% agree. I expect you to do your best at representing the truth as you know it Tom. I know ofcourse its possible some bits are wrong- I can always research more myself if I think there is a need to know in more detail. What I trust 100% is that you would never deliberately lie or make stuff up. It's the same for even well respected long running shows on bbc or somewhere- they are trusting to their experts and trying to fact check them as best they can, and not present as fact if something is up in the air etc- but they still make mistakes too. They just try to make as few as they can.
I mean we can only ever get close to the truth, we can't ever know absolute truth or at least know for certain that we know the absolute truth because we experience things through our sense perception and our senses aren't 100% accurate nor is our memories nor is how we think about things unfiltered by things like logical fallacies - in other words we can get close enough to truth but we most likely will never be able to know 100% objective truth because we're limited beings.
One should always uphold a healthy level of skepticism, even with respect to sources they otherwise trust. I'd say that you're trust _worthy,_ as being honest and truthful doesn't always mean being accurate, or even correct.

Imagine the world where people could admit their mistakes. One day, I hope.
Thanks for your honesty.
I have a lot of respect for someone who admits to their mistakes. Someone who goes through with the expenses to write a story (flying to another continent, talking to random people, using their valuable time) and delivering it how they morally feel it should be delivered, is amazing to see in todays world. In fact Kurzgesagt JUST made a video titled, "We Lied To You" 'and we'll do it again.'" I believe it takes a person of incredible moral stature to admit to their mistakes. You're not always trying to teach everything about a subject necessarily. You're enlightening people of a topic and inspiring them to research or learn about it themselves and that is what teaching should be.
