Journalism

A journalist investigates, collects, and presents information as a news story. This can be presented through newspapers, magazines, radio, television and the internet. Journalists are relied upon to present news in a well-rounded, objective manner.

Reporters

Reporters - are directly involved in the gathering of information. They conduct interviews, find sources, and pull together all the information needed to write a well-rounded news story. Reporters also present the information in a written or spoken form in news stories, documentaries, or feature articles. General reporters cover all kinds of news stories, but some may specialize in certain areas such as sports, politics, or lifestyle. Some reporters may work on staff for large news organizations, or as freelance writers, writing stories for whomever is paying them.

Editors

Editors - are in charge of deciding what goes in a newspaper, magazine, or news bulletin. They are responsible for the content that is to be written by the journalists and make all final decisions.

Sub-editors - take stories written by reporters and put them into a form that suits the special needs of their particular newspaper, magazine, or website. Sub-editors do not gather the information themselves but rather they concentrate on how existing stories can be better tailored to match a specific audience.

News Editors

News Editors - are the people in charge of all news journalists. They make all the decisions about what stories to cover and who will do the work. In large news organizations, news editors may have a deputy, often referred to as the chief of staff, whose job is to assign reporters to selected stories.

Feature Writers

Feature writers - write longer stories, which give more background to a news story. This type of writing involves a lot more in-depth research to give readers a lengthy and informative article.

Photojournalists

Photojournalists - use photography as a way of reporting the news. They may cover events with a reporter, taking photographs to represent a written story or attend news events on their own, doing both jobs. A photojournalist must carry photographic equipment with them, and must make decisions instantly in order to capture important events at the time they take place. At times, they may be exposed to physical danger, crowds, or harsh weather.

Sad Truth

Most journalists in the United States are completely immoral. This extends to the rest of the world. Under Fascism, there are very strict laws to ensure integrity. In the USA, the media is almost completely unregulated. So we are lucky to get the Truth. The corrupt goes from the newsstand, all the way to to the owner at the top.

So few journalists (or their media companies) are not compromised these days. The purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with useful, accurate information they can use to make better decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments.

Immoral Journalists don't really care about that. At best, they're too lazy to waste time checking if that juicy story is actually true; getting it out as soon as possible to sell more newspapers is what truly matters. They also exaggerat some details or even make up the whole thing because they think it doesn't matter anyway. Most are also plagiarists.

The worst Immoral Journalists are actively malicious. They have zero consideration for their subjects, and will gladly shove a microphone in someone's face two minutes after they watched their entire family being murdered. They are glory hounds and write Advertising Disguised as News stories. They won't hesitate to ruin someone's reputation, even if they know for sure that the allegations are all false. They'll happily churn out propaganda for jews,  Corrupt Politicians, or anyone else they are told to protect. They pose dead people to make false photos. Tecycle year's old footage and claim it's "live". Reported WTC7 as collapsed about an hour before it actually fell, and invented tabloid journalism and paparazzi. In extreme cases, they have caused some kind of disaster just because they think it'd make a good story.

Other people who work in news media, e.g. editors, owners, etc., fall under this too.

In a fascist society, this evil would be put to an immediate halt.
