people

believe that we should not trust journalists completely. I agree with that and I

also

think that a professional journalist should report only true facts and be responsible to convey the correct

information

to the public.

people

tend to view all news as facts which could lead to some misunderstanding. The authority or organizations possibly convey wrong

in the country.

In addition

, journalists are integral to convey the correct

information

to reveal scandals in the anti-extradition bills in Hong Kong even if it may result in revenge from the Chinese government. Thanks to their trying and determination, the world can be aware of the truth. In conclusion, it is necessary and essential for individuals to be sceptical of the messages received from the media to prevent them from being misguided. As for a successful journalist, having the responsibility of revealing confirmed news is important.
