Headliner - Can Jimmy Wales "fix the news"?

For this week's Headliner, we examine this issue with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, who says he has the solution. Wales is launching his own news outlet, WikiTribune, which aims to combat fake news by combining the work of professional journalists and volunteers.
"Yes, I do," said Wales, when asked if he believes that fake news posed a grave threat to democracy.
