In this episode, we uncover the vital role of editorial standards in shaping credible journalism today. Editorial guidelines are more than just rules—they’re the cornerstone of trust that helps readers rely on accurate, ethical reporting. Joining us is Eileen Drage O'Reilly, managing editor of standards and training at Axios and former president of the National Press Club. Eileen shares her insights on fostering journalistic integrity through high standards and Axios’ unique “Smart Brevity” style. With experience spanning Bloomberg, the LA Times Syndicate, and USA Today, she offers a look into how standards teams work behind the scenes to ensure truth remains at the forefront.
