We asked people on the street: Is compassion an American value?

The line between journalism and activism?

Clarissa Ward draws a distinction between journalism and activism, arguing that reporting the news means being faithful to facts, not pushing an agenda.

That doesn’t mean every journalist needs to share the same perspective. Different voices can bring attention to overlooked stories and challenge what we think we know. The key is having a shared commitment to truth and journalistic ethics.

Let’s not forget that.
