Journalists use their resources to collect, research and publish news information.
Journalists make the decisions of what is news, and what is reported.
They use their personal values to determine which stories they tell, and how they are presented. The standards journalists generally use tend to reflect those of ordinary public values.
When a hired journalist displays their opinions they must present it with the facts of the story, and an obligation to the truth. Since it is impossible to report everything, journalists must chose what is presented without being bias. Journalists are neither objective nor completely honest in their portrayal of important issues.
A journalist can earn and keep a strong reputation, within the public, if they show their position on a topic if all the truths are upheld.
Journalists can use their influence to ask the questions the public wants answers to.
Anyone can be a journalist by playing an active role in collecting and reporting news they may stumble upon. This type of ‘citizen journalism’ is a growing factor in today’s media, mainly due to new and modern technology.
Overall, a journalists job is to keep the news absolute and relative.
