What does it mean to be a responsible journalist? Perhaps we should return to Susan George’s description of the responsible social scientist: “The job of the responsible social scientist is first to uncover these forces [of wealth, power and control], to write about them clearly, without jargon ... and finally ... to take an advocacy position in favour of the disadvantaged, the underdogs, the victims of injustice.” And for others, you have to write about the real motives of those that are social justice warriors/journalists. Hint, it's not just about being an advocate for the poor or disadvantaged. Write about what their real endgame is. Don't let them off with this "sticking up for the little guy" rhetoric.
