Entry 76, Participation

 I believe that journalists should be completely objective when it comes to reporting to the social media. Being objective can make the report completely reliable, but so far no one can ever do it without any bias within them. To be objective and neutral with an event, it has to be an event overlooked by the journalist, the journalist can not be involved whatsoever with the topic. Once the journalist is involved with the topic, they would have opinions and produce biased reports of the event which makes the source completely unreliable.  I believe that  journalists should be completely willing to sacrifice anything for their love and passion of reporting the news. They are going to have to be willing to go into radio active grounds to report their breaking new story on the recent nuclear power plant explosion, or be willing to be in the middle of the rebels in Egypt reporting about the incident. Journalists cannot be scared of reporting the news, they can not be afraid of being in danger. Once the journalists becomes scared of the incident, I believe that they will eventually run out of good stories and eventually lose their jobs.
