| Normchacho said: Integrity is being honest, and having moral principles. His comment was about the integrity of the writter and about how he would rather him give his honest opinion of the game, and have it be different than the origional, than have him make the review around what would be consistent. Oh, and as for the articles you linked...The second one is written by a writter who is famous for her crappy blog posts, and the first is written by a guy with a journalism degree and who is actually a pretty talented writter. |
He's pretty crappy at doing research though. Or knowing what is and isn't racism (which I wrote my thesis on).
I personally have a Master Degree in History and we were constantly being taught to be unbiased and critical in our work/research (and why plagiarism is the worst of all evils in the academic world). I assume the same is true for journalism (they have many similarities in the way research is conducted). So that's why I make a link between integrity and a degree.
The person you call talented lacks both these skills. It takes more than a good writer to make a good journalist.
