I think news and reporters is needed now more than ever. It isn’t for everyone and it involves a lot of work. After watching the movie “Spotlight” and seeing all the dedication and fact checking they did for one story, it is clear to me that journalists put hard work into their stories to make sure they are true and relevant. There’s news everywhere and in order to get the right story you have to investigate and find sources that matter. I think news is told honestly and clearly on purpose to convey to people what is going on around them and keep the public up to date. One key thing professor Follis has taught us is to show up. This is one thing I have taken from Journalism 200 and applied to make my stories better and more purposeful.
