Why is journalism so picky?

What will be an ideal response?

The goal of good media writers is to inform the readers of something that will benefit the media organization and the audience members. This shared bond of trust is what keeps people showing up at public events, heading to the stores and reading news stories. The more mistakes we make in journalism, the harder it is to maintain that bond. Even more, not everyone who publishes information, sends out tweets or reaches out to the public in other ways shares our professional duty to the truth. Many people have no problem starting rumors and spreading lies. For some people, it is a joke, whereas for others it is a chance to take advantage of an unsuspecting public. In any case, this misinformation makes it harder on media practitioners who hold themselves to a higher standard.
