What sort of training do journalist undertake to perpare themselves to understand the world on which they report?

In my areas of expertise, I find "journalists" are completely clueless. Their biases of personality, either near-total gullibility or equally extreme cynicism, seem to come through much more strongly than any facts that might accidentally creep into their articles. It can't much be helped in a world of advanced technical knowledge, as it takes years of training in many fields for even a rudimentary knowledge, and the investment for the media is simply not worth it.

School Of the Liberals?
Your asking me where journalists learn to understand the world on which they report... but im at a loss.. i can honestly tell you, i think they find them on the streets or in bomb shelters. They are all crazy paranoid tards who make little to no sense.

The journalists that aren`t blinded by their own agendas completely understand what is going on...a very very low number.

some do, most do not...it all depends who they report to...and their own newspaper philosophy of reporting...you are right in doubting..some articles are not worth...reading about...but...get the n.y. times...and other serious paper you will find better reporting..ignore the others..hope it does help.

No. They try to be the first to get the story out.
