False story about decuplets was a low point for journalism: how to fix the damage


by Pretoria News, based in South Africa’s capital city. But it may present an opportunity to think anew about what could be done to address journalism’s crisis of trust.
For a moment, the tale of a woman in Tembisa, northeast of Johannesburg, and her record-breaking ’10 babies’ seemed like a welcome distraction from the depressing grind of Covid-19, political intrigue and state failures.
But it was a very brief moment. The red flags began fluttering almost before the metaphorical ink was dry on the story. Health officials who would have known about such a rare and complex medical event could find no trace of the birth. Then the man’s family distanced themselves from the claim and the woman was taken into psychiatric care.
