Proof Read? *puppy dog eyes*
Another very short excerpt from the annotated bibliography I'm working on....I really appreciated all of the feedback last time, it helps me so much to know what you all think and when you catch the mistakes I miss! And remember people,
In this article, which appeared in the Media Studies Journal, Squires attempts to convince the public that journalism, except for a select group of periodicals, has been corrupted. Squires believes that professional standards no longer exist, and journalists are more interested in the entertainment value of a story opposed to the truth and accuracy of it. Squires admits that there will always be disagreement over what is considered "right" and "fair," but journalism today is downright unethical. Squires blames the corruption of journalism on the fact that entertainment groups, such as Time Warner, are producing news programs. He believes that this blurs the line between news and entertainment because news is seen as a profitable market, rather than an informative one. This article is useful because it presents a strong opinion regarding the ethics of journalism and why the standards have decreased.
