The word "journalism" is often complicated and misinterpreted by many. Most people do not consider journalism a profession because there isn't a set of guidelines that everybody must pass and there is no required curriculum for journalists. We live in a time where news is accessed in many different ways through many different platforms. Bloggers and activists are considered journalists by many. And this is where the complication of the word lies. Journalists can not solely be looked at as writers, editors and news anchors. Being a journalist means being an invisible fourth branch to the government. The Founding Fathers created the First Amendment in order to protect the press against tyranny. Journalists are expected to be the watch-dogs of society and to inform the public. It requires a great civic duty and a devotion to truth.
