In a post, respond to one of the key points the article makes and/or give an example from the media that relates to one of these “essentials.”
One of the key points from the article that I’ve read so far is “journalist truth” and another key point would be personal conscience. The “journalist truth ” is a process that begins with the professional discipline of assembling and verifying facts. It is a good way to start out as a journalist and to be able to write a news, articles, and etc. with the truth. Lying and making things up to stay relevant as a journalist would lead to a down fall or even losing reputation if everything in the news or articles is nothing but lies. The truth is the key to show how professional you can be as a journalist. Lastly, the second key point personal conscience, and as a journalism, whether if it’s a professional writer for a news organization or as an online contributor in the public space, the most important thing is to involves personal sense of ethics and responsibility. Providing news is important when it comes to being a journalist. As self realization, this also provides the responsibility of a journalist and shows that they have a voice that they want people to hear out loud and connecting to the audience. News organization also help nurture the writers independence and it encourage them to speak for their mind. As for employees it is always important to asked for any errors they have make to correct themselves and analysis the mistakes they’ve done, so they can become a better journalist, for their boss. These are a few of the key points that show how essential being journalism is.
Good analysis, Rachel, of the media’s important role in bringing out “the truth.” We’ll be exploring this complicated topic in more detail in next week’s readings.
