Is today’s news a truthful account of the day’s events? Is it a blatant attempt to guide the reader’s reaction to keep interests high? Or do entertainment corporations trying to make a profit overrun today’s news? Should there be certain standards of journalism in news today? To answer these questions, the reader must understand the definition of news. Jack Fuller best defines news as “a report of what a news organization …showed first 75 words of 1121 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1121 total…debate. Fuller states that the journalist might “call all close factual issues for the weaker party or shade the way he put both sides’ arguments in order to give the weaker side a chance of persuading the audience.” The reader should be allowed to form his/her own opinion based on accurate and truthful accounts of the day’s events. These guidelines will help journalism return to its accurate and fair form of the past.
