We depend upon the media to keep us informed. The media has enormous power to influence us. It influences public opinion and decision making. People’s lives are often destroyed by false, malicious and biased reporting that seeks to make a sensational effect for commercial advantage. Investigative journalism with a high level of integrity, which seeks out stories and exposes wrongdoing, is a vital part of democracy. However when that powerful tool is abused with knowingly false stories or biased journalism, the journalist and company must be punished and the damage put right.
