Wednesday 3/24

Even before I knew that I would have to apply the Elements of Journalism to this week’s entries, I was prepared to write about the page that informed readers of how the new health care will affect different kinds of people. Now that I am tying it in with the Elements of Journalism, this is a wonderful example of a lack of bias in the news and a journalist’s loyalty to the citizens. Instead of some sort of commentary of why or why not the new policy on healthcare is going to either save our country or absolutely destroy it, the journalists are offering straight truths about how this will affect its citizens. This shows a lack of bias in the journalist, since they can’t exactly just insert their opinions on what they think will happen, and similarly, the article is not slanted towards one side.
