Reflect: After reading the chapter, think about some guiding principles that you believe journalists should adhere to when reporting news related to the federal government. After you have considered several principles, choose three of them and think about the following:
· How should a journalist use each principle in fulfilling their duties to the American public?
· How can a journalist use each principle to fulfill their duties while effectively operating in the four capacities discussed in the chapter?
Write: Once you have considered each of the questions, write a 250- to 300-word response addressing each of them. In your initial post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material and an additional in-text citation from a scholarly source that you locate in the Ashford University Library or from another credible source. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your post.
