news matters

News matters response

In the reading “news matters” There are a lot of different short stories of how the journalism can be very relevant for our lives. Even though we have good and bad journalism there is always the need of news and information. The news matters reading starts with the Watergate’s case. This case was a very known case and it transcend to the fact that not even government entities were able to interfere with the journalism job. Job that is very important because is based on the idea of informing the public without trying to cover any truth that the public should know about.

Some times we as readers and viewers of the news take for granted that the journalists in most of the cases are trying to inform us without directing there self to who may be beneficiated with the information. Journalist is only truth to the people. One perfect example of this is the news of the tires that were install in the ford cars that end up in the save of a lot of human lives. Also we cannot take an over look on the coverage that was given by the reporters after September 2001. This and many other situations are proof of what good journalism is. In the other hand there is journalism that is very bias and can lead to many expectations such as leaving information out of the report that can actually have a big impact in a specific matter.

Even though the news and the way to get informed has change so much with the new implementation of new technology and with the interferences of government identities to hide the real information from the public we can still consider our self lucky to have some good journalism that still goes over the limitations that are giving to make good and informative reporting of the news and to those journalists I would like to thank because without there help our voices and our lives wouldn’t have the knowledge of situations that are occurring around the world.
