問題詳情

［2］ Journalists and media outlets are bound by an ethical code of conduct that requires them to relay the facts truthfully and equally by balancing both sides of an issue. Just as the phrase, "justice is blind" means that the law only considers the facts, so must journalists also show only factual information without swaying the reader or viewer's opinion.When a reporter purposely withholds information from a story, they are functioning as a gatekeeper, or someone who has the power to control a message by influencing conclusions. These lies of omission are serious breaches of the trust between the public and the news outlet. If such unfair reporting practices occur several times, news agencies can lose valuable credibility, their audiences, and in some cases, their license to broadcast.While it's true that some news agencies may deliberately withhold or omit facts, it can also happen because of human error or poor newsgathering. Such accidents are damaging, but may not permanently damage a journalist's reputation if they publicly acknowledge what they did and reveal the true facts after. Journalist must strive to remember that their job is to give information without bias, or opinion, so that listeners and viewers can freely interpret the facts for themselves.

(A) Their own moral beliefs.
(B) Their employer's policies.
