One of the prevailing phrases thrown around is ''good journalism'', and in a world of dire and appalling journalism, therefore good journalism should shine brightest. The only way to veer away from ''bad journalism'' is in fact for the author to explore the subversive content matter, and to not shy away from the incredibly controversial. It is up to the modern journalist to ''go in at the deep end'' and find a story that changes public discourse and tells a story that someone may not have seen or thought that way. The media has an immense influence on the everyday person, their vision is in fact shaped by what they read, and the author should recognise that people are easily swayed, but to protect the reader and gain trust and compassion in the subject, to, therefore, protect them from harm, and save the innocent from corruption.
