Failure of Modern Journalism

Provide accurate information
Provide timely information
Provide unbiased information
Provide useful information
Understand information

True journalists understand the capacity of words, they are the guardians and purveyors of truth. If there is an injustice be not afraid to speak. Do not use your influence of language to assert a bias or inaccurate fact. It is your job to report the news, not to interpret world events.  You are in a very powerful position, keeper of knowledge, storyteller. Fail to provide accurate information, and fail the world.  

Speak the truth or fail to speak at all.
