Journalistic Integrity

              Journalistic Integrity is to always be honest and do the right thing. Great virtue, is a part of Integrity. To have Journalistic Integrity you have to always be unbiased, truthful, you can't stretch the story or add on parts to make it sound better, and you can't leave the story unfinished meaning you have to tell the entire story and both sides.

             

              Journalistic Integrity is important because if you just write an article and it is not truthful people might think it is real and not know the truth. Being a good person is a good part of Integrity. If you put out an article or review and it is totally opinionated then people might think that the movie or book is different then what it is really like. Most importantly Journalistic Integrity is having honesty.

             

              I will apply this information by always trying my best to get the correct details. I will try to tell the truth so people can make their own opinions. Hopefully when I write, all my facts will be right and my story can help people understand whatever they are reading. I will try to have good Journalistic Integrity.
