The main thing that the media can do to combat Fake News is to:

1.  Be disinterested (not uninterested, but disinterested).  That is, report the facts.  
2.  Don't provide opinion
3.  Provide both sides of the story, not just the one you want to be told
4.  Provide sources so we know that your are not just making it up
5.  Treat the people you cover and interview with respect
6.  Check your bias at the door

If I can read an article by you and I can't tell whether you are siding one way or the other or I can't tell whether you are a conservative or a liberal and I can feel confident that you reported the truth.

But don't tell use your sob story about all the "fake news" out there.  Get your own house in order.  If you do that then people might actually believe what you have to say and then you are at least a one step distance away from the real Fake News.  

Oh, and stop being so sanctimonious while you are at.  You are just the press, not a messenger from God.
