When you are the editor of a news outlet, even a small one like Gript, there are dozens of decisions about how to cover the news which need to be made every single day.

Whether to cover a story at all is another one – we get dozens of emails every day from people with this piece of news, or that piece of news, but many of them are either too small, or lack sufficient corroborating evidence, or have some other problem. Sometimes we get it wrong, and, sometimes, like with the Barbie Kardashian story, we get it right.
But what we do not try to do is to hide facts. Facts are facts, whether they support your case or not.
