Silencing the journalist

Journalism is a very competitive industry. Journalists are not only gathering the information we read but they are also in a daily battle to get their stories printed. The media companies choose what they want to print for the public eye and regardless if it's the truth or not they will publish the story, because they want the big bucks. 



The issue I have with the media deciding what gets published is how will we ever know what the truth is if there are only lies on top of lies. The Media Producers silencing the truth and controlling our Journalism is a problem that has caught my attention, because I believe we should know the truth and nothing but the truth!




Imagine waking up one day grabbing the news paper and everything you read was completely ran by the government or even a high CEO of a company. It's becoming all about dollars and ratings now and people are losing their values of what is right and wrong. Think about it like this; if our government wanted people in our country to believe that the war was over then all they would need to do is pay the big bucks for a producer to twist a story here and there. As the readers at home we would have no evidence of the truth from a lie and therefore we would be persuaded towards whatever way they wanted us to think.
What a scary thought!




 If journalist are paid and silenced from writing the truth, then we as the people of America are going to be in the dark. It would be taking our civil rights away and we as a united country would begin to fall apart. I think we need to make sure that journalist are able to do there jobs by informing us on what really goes on in our world and they should be able to publish the whole truth.
