News Media

In my opinion the news media should hold a higher code of ethics because people usually tend to believe everything in the news area to be true, and with entertainment and advertisers/advertising the people (for the most part) realize that these professional areas are just trying to bum some more money off of the public. When someone reads or sees a story in the newspaper or on television that person does not think that it is possible for the story to be not factual. But on the other hand, if that same person watches a movie that is about history, take National Treasure for example, they think twice before determining whether or not the facts play out. Basically the truth is that people have a tendency to believe the news area over entertainment or advertisers so therefore the news media should have a higher code of ethics, they should be loyal to the people.
