Political journalism fails to do this when they decide to reinforce their own editorial beliefs instead. ]]> 2022-10-05 10:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327313792 Politics by Sam https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327314294 For me, political journalism is the presentation of what has been happening in politics (preferably objective) and how this could effect the people.

Failure to do so can result in a journalist crossing over into an "activist" role. To quote a wise editor: "Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one, but facts are sacred". https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327318695 2022-10-05 10:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327318695 https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327320077 2022-10-05 10:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327320077 https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327328586 2022-10-05 10:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ad69421/g9nffy3py4gn6s9e/wish/2327328586
