The first priority of a journalist is to increase sales along with the rating of the publication for which they work. They will use fact/opinion/rumor or "unnamed sources" to that end. Although it is ethically right for journalist to always write the truth, in reality this seldom happens in journalism. This is because; journalists cannot completely be objective about anything they investigate. Firstly, journalists are people and people tends to be biased no matter what code they are under, and second, journalists tend to quote people out of context. Reporters have the power to write whatever they want whether the story is true or not. They tend to twist interviewees words around to fabricate more interesting stories.
