Gatekeeping

I think that gatekeeping can be a problem as far as bias and not getting the whole story. I also think that it's inevitable. The people who report the news are always going to have their own opinions about a topic and they also have to answer to somebody (an editor) who has an opinion on the topic. Even if a reporter tryes to be objective there is still the fact that you aren't seeing the whole story. Only the "juciest" and most "newsworthy" information is shown during the short newscast. In order to get the whole story, people should check out the information for themselves. That way they can make an educated decision on how they feel about the subject.
