One of the most important freedoms that we enjoy in the United States is freedom of the press. This freedom of the press, however, has often been abused in order to further a career or sell a paper. A journalist should be fair in writing the new, honest with the reader of the news, and knowledgeable in the legal aspects of reporting the news of the world around him.
