According to your article, "Americans trust local news organizations more than any other source, including national news organizations, government and business." National news outlets and local news, however, are very different from TMZ. TMZ aims to publish all breaking news, while a national news organization focuses on raising awareness about what is happening in a certain area, they still try to publish breaking news, but don't rely on it and they use unethical routes to get the story. This may be related to the comment made by Kathy English. I became a journalist because I'm idealistic, I want to tell people all the things that are wrong. Many journalists enter the profession to be truthful and provide useful facts to the public. Good journalism is often overshadowed by bad journalism which is what ultimately gives journalism a bad name, the actions of journalists reach thousands of people and when they make mistakes it is more noticeable than others. It should be noted that people in careers other than journalism nevertheless make unethical decisions because journalists are seen on a larger platform than others. Furthermore, unethical practices help explain why journalists are highly untrustworthy and is not the only thing that determines why journalism is untrustworthy.
