The Need for Journalistic Integrity
I remember an election held in college for the student assembly. The school newspaper reported that the "conservative" party made racist statements. As a result, the "liberal" party won the assembly elections. The reporter later confessed to fabricating the whole story about the racist remarks. Sadly, he was not punished for this misdeed. The worst part is that he expressed his desire to become a professional journalist. I wondered, "How many people like him currently work for the news media today?" Then is it any wonder why it's so hard for us nowadays to discern if a story is true? Maybe it's time for journalists to take a refresher course in ethics.
