Journalism:
The collection, editing and presentation of news to the public via
documentaries, newspapers, magazines, blogs, social media, TV and
Radios. Journalism provides the information we need to make rational,
informed decision. It is advised that we seek facts from a
variety of sources
1. Review the
origins of broadcasts, internet and printed news articles. Are
they
reputable organizations, schools or persons?
Are the articles opinions? Do they have
footnotes and or source credits?
2. Analyze
political speeches and statements.
Most politicians are stating
political talking points established
by think tanks, political groups, special
interests and lobbyists. They often
have agenda's that are religious, personal,
economic or political.
3. Analyze TV and
radio broadcasts. Some
"reports" are personal opinions and
some are accounts of events. 4. When
hearing or seeing a report, check the
background of the reporter and
screen the
information for bias and third party
influence.
5. Never accept
a report on face value. Research it from a variety of
opposing articles, primary and
secondary sources.
