American Journalists
This article was on how journalists are supposed to just report the facts without any bias at all or any other influences to their reporting. This can be a real challenge to one's thoughts or ideas and to one's nationality and patriotism. This was one factor in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, some reporters tried to stick with the no opinion standpoint, and were then battered by critics for not siding with the American people, which was not the reporters intentions at all, they were just misjudged, and taken the wrong way. Personally, if I were a reporter, I would find if very hard to not put in my opinion to something like 9/11, which was a devastating and traumatic event, and I probably would put in my opinion. Some reporters now have to worry about the outcome of what exactly they say now, because in this world, communication is international, and it could not be good if one criticizes a certain government or regime, because even though reporters are usually not targeted, they could be in danger in a certain government for what they say. Being a reporter is probably a very exciting job, but it does come with risks.
