Journalism is opinion.
It's the opinion of the journalist: is this information worth writing about?
It's the opinion of the editor: is this part worth changing?
It's the opinion of the publisher: is this piece worth publishing?
- carapace 7y agoMaybe I'm just getting old, but this sounds like the lyrics to a bad 80's punk rock song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_reply https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_reply > The right of reply or right of correction generally means the right to defend oneself against public criticism in the same venue where it was published. In some countries, such as Brazil, it is a legal or even constitutional right. In other countries, it is not a legal right as such, but a right which certain media outlets and publications choose to grant to people who have been severely criticised by them, as a matter of editorial policy. You might not like it but it is a thing. And if they choose to defend themselves with a load of PR doublespeak BS, well, that's also news, eh? If the reporter adds "...which is obviously bullshit." at the end that's the difference between journalism and a SNL sketch.
