Manage Discussion Entry

The Fourth Estate and Maintaining a Standard

The public spectrum of communication includes journalism and PR/Advertising. Through these venues of communication citizens receive the bulk of their daily information from news, other media and a barrage of advertisement.

What if everything you had ever been told by these venues was a lie, or a suspected lie?

Answer: They would lose all validity. No longer would you trust their content and no longer would you consider them as an option.

Journalism's independence from government and corporation combined with a strict role as "Community Watchdog" can disable any elaborate corporate hoax, dislodge any governmental lie and ensure an accurate and informed citizenry.
