The gatekeepers of news are the government and law enforcement. They control what is released and what is not. Investigative reporting is definitely very effective in informing the public. Though there are many times where details may be left out, untrue, or exaggerated, if it wasn’t for investigative reporting, we would never even find out what is going on. It is their job to go out and find out the important details that the public has the right to know and then relay it. Really, there would be no news if it wasn’t for investigative reporting. Random people cannot just go around and investigate scenes on their own and tell people what is happening. The reporters have this specific job just so that us as a people can be tuned in to important happenings in our world today. This is very important in society all around the world. If we did not know what was happening around us, how would we be able to advance as a culture or even be cautious to dangers and such? The answer is simple; we wouldn’t. One can really learn a great deal from viewing the news and becoming in touch with modern events.
