Journalists play key role in gathering and transmitting news to general audiences in various forms
such
 as newspapers, news channels, blogs etc. Now-a-days journalists are being partial to some people and are reporting us with fake
information
.
This
 scenario has put the general public in a dilemma whether to believe them or not?

trust
 the
information
 provided by journalist and
also
 justifies it by using relevant examples. Now-a- days journalist are not that trustworthy compared to earlier days. The reason behind losing their
trust
 among people is because they started being biased and started spreading false news to public.

lose
 their belief on journalists.
On the other hand
, Some people still rely on the media as they blindly follow them without any prior research. They
trust
 the media platform more than the people working there and assuming that all the people working are genuine as they stick to the company's values.
For instance
, one of the new reporter from the Times of India was found guilty of sharing false
information
, people still thought it was true because of their faith in the channel.
Therefore
 channel's reputation is the main reason which still makes people believe no matter if the news is true or false. So, To what extent we can
trust
 them? Well, it's always better to do your own research before trusting them. It's not guaranteed that what we receive is always true and there might be a chance of false
information
 shared due to many factors. To conclude, to some extent we can
trust
 them, but it is advised to have your own research before creating an opinion.
