benandsteve.com is currently considering returning to Flipboard Media, the possible return of content services to and from GroffMedia, benandsteve.com, 2026 TruthEndures©. As stated the proposal is under consideration.

Any return arrangement would require full editorial oversight and content review authority regarding material published under the name of Benjamin Groff, GroffMedia, benandsteve.com, or any affiliated entity. The purpose behind this requirement is rooted in a growing concern over balance, accountability, and fairness in modern media reporting.

GroffMedia’s position is that journalism should reflect principles similar to the equal broadcast standards that existed prior to their dismantling during the Reagan era in the 1980s. While modern media has evolved, we believe there remains value in restoring elements of balanced reporting — ensuring that opposing viewpoints, facts, and perspectives receive meaningful and proportional representation.

Under this approach, articles submitted for publication would be expected to demonstrate reasonable efforts toward balanced coverage. That would include presenting both supporting and opposing perspectives with equal seriousness in research, interviews, reporting effort, and editorial consideration. The goal is not censorship or restriction of opinion, but rather a commitment to responsible journalism that informs rather than inflames.

One of the largest challenges facing such an effort is determining how these standards could be maintained among the many contributors who submit material through platforms such as Flipboard. Equally important is the process of selecting content that remains timely, relevant, beneficial to readers, and consistent with the editorial principles GroffMedia seeks to uphold.

At its core, the discussion is not simply about publishing content. It is about whether modern independent media can still create an environment where fairness, depth, and accountability are valued alongside speed and public engagement.

A major question at this stage is how to ensure that contributors submitting material for consideration consistently meet these editorial standards. One approach currently being explored is the development of a national grading or evaluation system designed to identify organizations, research groups, journalism institutions, and independent sources that demonstrate strong commitments to accuracy, balance, transparency, and accountability in reporting.

The challenge is not simply identifying who publishes the most content, but determining which organizations consistently apply equal effort to fact gathering, source verification, opposing viewpoints, corrections, and editorial integrity. Any standards adopted would need to measure credibility and fairness rather than ideology or political preference.

As this effort develops, GroffMedia hopes to identify trusted resources and partnerships capable of helping guide this mission in a meaningful and measurable way. If the project moves forward as intended, additional information regarding participating organizations, evaluation methods, and publication guidelines will be made available in the near future.

If Flipboard content does return, it will be under the understanding that only providers meeting those editorial standards will be eligible for posting to affiliated accounts. One of the concerns currently under review is whether such oversight can realistically be maintained without becoming excessively time-consuming or difficult to manage.

Among the ideas being considered is limiting reposted material to news organizations and media outlets that rank above a determined threshold within a recognized national grading or credibility system. Whether that approach can provide the balance, fairness, and consistency intended remains part of the ongoing evaluation process involving accounts associated with benandsteve.com and GroffMedia.
