Abstract
A journalist is required to be neutral_ Thousands of books on mass media have elaborated the qualities and duties of reporters and sub editors. Almost all the authors of these books are agreed that the journalist should be neutral and the news should be objective and accurate_ For example, according to Earl English and Clarence Hach, "News is the factual report of an event, not the event as a prejudiced person might see it or as the reporter or sponsor might wish it to have been. A reporter should report news impartially and honestly."'
