Journalism culture

Journalism culture is how reporters and other people involved in news media operate. It includes values and traditions that they follow while doing their job and crafting stories. For example, journalists have a duty to tell the truth, to be impartial and accurate when reporting, to hold powerful people and organizations accountable for their actions and to remain independent of influences that might distort their reporting. Journalists also have an ethical and professional obligation to protect confidential information, such as the identity of anonymous sources.
