 FORMER U.S. NEWS ANCHOR JOINS CANADIAN JOURNALISM SCENE - OCTOBER 2001 | Thunderbird Magazine
Newman, clearly shaken by the events of Sept. 11 – two of his friends were among the victims – announces he instead wants to talk about the attacks and what this means for the men and women who report the news.
According to Newman, this happened because, for the past 20 years, Americans "were living in a wonderful world," when the country was at peace and prospering economically.
Newman says the news media can rise to the challenge by increasing the pressure placed on elected officials whom he criticizes for not being candid with their constituents.

Through the journalistic principal of objectivity, which states that an article must be balanced and be free of bias, the fossil fuel lobbyists were able to insert themselves into each article written by reporters because the reporters desired to show a balanced assesment of the case.
Journalists are in the extremely important role of informing the people, and an informed public is absolutely essential to a functioning democracy, and to keep the powers that be in check.
A key argument of the Mother Jones article though, is that many journalists did not research the climate change debate deeply enough, and gave equal weight to the research of the industry-funded lobbyists in relation to the research of the climate scientists, when in fact the two sides of the debate were very unequally supported.

The Canadian television news has focused on the evacuation of Canadians thinking that evacuees are the key element of the story but the news hasn’t explored why there are 50, 000 Canadians in the region in the first place.
