Are Journalists With Us or Against Us?

Paper Summary:

An argumentative paper written in the first person questioning whether journalists can be trusted or whether their entire aim in their work is to sensationalize and only to create news.

From the Paper:

"I believe that one must always remain skeptical of what they read in the media. Because journalism is obviously one's interpretation of some event that occurred, it is only natural for the facts of the case to be altered in some way or another. More often than not, printed news stories are adaptations of another article previously written on the same topic. Journalism also tends to be extremely opinionated, and one's own thoughts or ideas concerning a particular subject can sometimes get in the way of reality. Countless examples of journalists stretching the truth for the sake of getting attention does not contribute positively to our view on journalism either. In my opinion, the well-renowned journalists that have been involved in this profession for years are trustworthier than those that are inexperienced and obscure to the public eye."
