This is the short version.

*What is a news ombudsman?

A news ombudsman receives and investigates complaints from newspaper readers or listeners or viewers of radio and television stations about accuracy, fairness, balance and good taste in news coverage. He or she recommends appropriate remedies or responses to correct or clarify news reports.*

I see a Foundation appointed person doing something similar. Looking at individual serious problems that exist because of fixable flaws in the system. This should keep these same type of problems from reoccuring.
