The press is sometimes called the fourth estate. Suggest an important, coherent and independent force in society. The press does not share the same aims as government, the legislature, the executive, religion or commerce. It is, or should be, an outsider. They don’t have to win votes. They can write things about the economy, say, or the environment which may need saying but which are not said by politicians. They come from a different place. Journalists will have to cover this current administration by sending interns to do investigative reporting. Not wasting time waiting to get misleading information from the white house. Verifying everything that the government says… Example of ethical news has to do with truth, accuracy, fairness and impartiality. Examples of unethical news are completely the opposite thing.
