Fade of a Journalist

The endeavour to maintain proper standards of fairness in journalism must been pursued. It is fatally was for the journalist to deviate from the straight path. There is his natural desire to ‘make a story’, and insidious temptations to twist facts to square with his paper’s policy. Both are as indefensible as the framing of misleading headlines for the sake of effect. The conscientious journalist must check any tendency to bias; and guard against the dangers inherent in personal antipathies or friendships, and in traditional opposition between rival schools of thought. When a political opponent, whose stupidity habituation provokes attack, makes an effective speech, honestly requires that he be given credit for it. Where personal relationships might make it easier and more.
