After reading the Op-Ed from Lewis Wallace one thing I like to acknowledge that is important is how he says journalists need to fight back. He also says that we should check our facts and should tell the truth. What he’s saying to fight back means that we need to strengthen ourselves to take down the people talking about made up stories that are distracting us. Then he says that it’s our job to be honest about ourselves and to learn to be honest with the audience about who they are. To learn to be honest about why we are all here and what we need to do. He believes that by claiming all of these stances, we can strengthen our position. He’s also saying that it’s always important to have a voice and that you need to speak up. You want to live in a world where you can have your voices heard. That’s why it’s always important to speak up about things that are important to you.

I found the article “Objectivity is Dead, and I’m Okay With It” by Wallace pretty interesting . I appreciated the fact that he told the truth about journalism. It’s not possible for a journalist to be truly objective, because objectivity in a human being is a complete myth. “Objectivity” often backfires since not all sides are equal and it’s impossible to not be nonjudgmental. I agree with one of Wallace statements – “I propose that we need to become more shameless, more raw, more honest with ourselves and our audiences about who we are, and what we are in this for”.
Maria is a clear victim of Social media.We see her as a victim because if it wasn’t because of social media she wouldn’t have the life that she has had.Social media allowed her to be arrested because of misleading information.Not only did it affect her with the law but it affected her whole life in general.Social media is somewhere where a person can easily fall into depression,loneliness,stress and a huge one being low self esteem due.Social media creates social standards which can be very harmful for being making them think they have to be and look a certain way.Social media is very difficult to make seem negative but it’s hard to be positive as well.In other words social media is very controversial.We can clearly see that Maria wouldn’t be a huge fan of social media and we can’t blame her.Although social media is very popular it honestly shouldn’t be since of all the unneeded posts that are not beneficial to users of social media.Many ways in which social media has been negatively affected us is visible in the many crimes committed just on social media.The lies and many posts can be harmful which can be very difficult to control.Maria is more than a clear example why social media should be more controlled in a way.
