Summary
In modern day, journalists have a bad rep as being biased and skewed. This is what people mean, especially politicians and those in power when they say that the media is portraying something in a certain way or light. But my goal is to take this stigma away from broadcasting and journalists. I will agree, many people are biased and paint certain people or situations in a way that is not true. But, it is important to use your voice and skills for the better of all. Instead of using journalism as a way to push a certain agenda, I will use what I have learned to speak for those whose voices are never heard. This is what journalism is about, it's about giving people a voice and platform to tell their story. It's about representation in a mix of people where it's easy to lose sense of who you are. Good and ethical journalism is necessary as well as good reporting of quality information at the scene of an incident in order to tell not only a good story, but a correct one.
