The talk about ethical journalism with GRF Sam was very interesting, especially considering that we had information literally at the tips of our fingertips. A large part of journalism is the efficacy of the readers. They need to acknowledge that complete impartiality is impossible, and that to responsibly consume news is to take it with a grain of salt. Bias falls on the author and the news provider. It is well know that Fox News and CNN and BBC all carry different political weight.

As someone who is very interested in publishing and was involved with multiple publications in high school as well as here at Cornell, ethical writing is a source of contention. What is ethical writing? And how does it fluctuate depending on the type of publishing one is doing? I left current events journalism in high school for a more personal writing process in college, and the two are very different. I hope that readers know that publishing and journalism are two very different areas.
