The Role of Journalists

The journalists have an important part in the life and the press could not continue without them. Leveson (2012) stated that: Editors and journalists are very independently-minded people, and usually strongly they refuse anyone that to interfere in their work. Their role is to find out and publish the truth, but with respecting the privacy of the celebrities and organizations. Also they have to be unbiased of what they are doing to publish. According to Leveson (2012): The British media is restricted in three main aspects: public interests, religions, and individuals, also in the court or government. Everyone felt like the British press does not have enough freedom to report what they have. On the other side, the press UK press should make that the media obey the law. In addition, the government should uphold and protect the freedom of the press.  Leveson said that the police officers are given hospitality to give actions and make decisions.
