However, what people don't realize is that in the beginning this was not the case and even in today's society journalists are making a solid effort to fight that stereotype that so many bad journalists have left. One of the ways that journalists are trying to fight back is through instituting the nine elements of journalism: journalism's first obligation is to the truth, its first loyalty is to citizens

Most people have biases, however some people are more bias than others, but people have their own biases whether they are aware or not. People prefer to confirm why they are right and they want to convince others by providing reasoning and evidences.

Don’t Let the Facts Stand in the Way of a Good Story!(Editorial Review for Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News) After twenty-eight years working for CBS, Bernard Goldberg decided that he no longer wanted to work for a news station he didn’t admire.

Therefore, how a person feels inside is reflected in his/her thoughts, opinions, and behavior. Juror #3 is very biased against the 19-year-old boy that is being tried, and this affects all of his thoughts and actions regarding the case.

today, especially at the leadership level, is that of selective perception. The world we live in is more diverse than in previous generations and unfortunately, this has not exactly had a positive effect. Rather, it has created an environment of bias, and in some situations, hostility against those who do not follow what many deem to be “social norms.” The primary detriment created by selective perception is the inability to effectively communicate, both vertically or laterally, in the workplace

Kovach and Rosenstiel (2007) outline several common indicators for good journalism in their book The Elements of Journalism. The first of which is the truth. In order for the public to be able to make a good decision regarding any given topic, the journalist must put forth reliable and accurate facts.
