It is journalism that answers questions, investigating tips and provides information regardless of who's at the centre of the story or what it means for them when the story's out. It goes for all topics out there, from politics to health to religion.

Sometimes also, the public has vested interests and might be interested in hearing only one side of the story, that which they prefer to believe. But journalism is about getting the truth out there, whether it is liked or not.
