As I was reading and thinking more about journalism today and asked myself, “how is news being portrayed?”. I came across this online article by The State News. It is an opinion column about how “opinion is ruining journalism.” I understand this article as a journalist and agree with what Riley Murdock had to say.

“As journalists, our job is not to tell people what to think. Our job is to present the facts in an objective manner. If our job is done well enough, people are informed enough to make their own decisions based on what is indeed factual.” Is what Murdock states in the piece that was published. I think that this article says a lot of truth, and I believe journalists need to keep their opinions to personal pages, but when telling news, we need to let the public know the facts and let them decide for themselves what they think about the story that is going around in our everyday lives.
