It's been four years since I was asked for three or four changes in political journalism that might begin to right this ship. (Emphasis on "begin to...") Here is what I came up with.

Agree with them all, but outraged that 2 and 4 aren't the bare goddamn minimum.

This is spot on. It seems these are all things that would be taught as part of a basic journalism degree. The idea of journalism having to make a profit (because capitalism, bro) really screwed the people who WOULD follow those tenants. We got stuck with Tuck Tuck McSwanson and his ilk.

Also, we need some sort of group of public editors who oversee the content going out on major media platforms?

Can we add "hiring reality-tv/game-show producers to run media outlets seen as the reason why we can't trust anything anymore these days"?

Well BBC, Channel4, NYT, CNN and most spectacularly last week MS/NBC, have failed miserably at this. FOX, Breitbart, NewsNation see this as their must-do catechism (that which you are trying to remove). Who is left?? What a loss Tim Russert has been to the US.

This is a really solid start. I keep thinking about how there also needs to be some mechanism to guide the public toward understanding the difference between garbage and actual journalism. (RandomcityTimes,com might not be legit, for example.)

I think I recall your posting this on the other place. And it’s true, and I wish more in the media would take this to heart.

I like the fourth one about bad actors misinforming the media. That would include the so-called Taxpayers Union and FreeSpeech union - both rightwing astroturf groups led by Jordan Williams and the latter a RW zionist who has attempted to silence opposition via legal action.

This column from Cleveland.com editor is a great example of news that supports democracy.
