We Need Herd Immunity From Trump and the Coronavirus
By Jane Lee For this week's analysis, I chose an opinion piece from The New York Times , "We Need Herd Immunity From Trump and the Coronavirus". I believe the functions of journalism in society are to inform people what's happening in the world, keep the right to know and realize democracy. .In the nature of such functions, journalists sometimes can be enemies against people who want to hide facts. The article suggests its readers perceiving the current situation and Donald Trump's presidency. The ethics we need to have as journalists are seeking the truth and reporting, minimizing harm, acting independently, being accountable and transparent. With these ideas, I think it is important to watch people who are in responsible positions and report to people how they are doing. Normally, we need to minimize our opinions in reporting, but I think sometimes it is necessary to tell and inform fair suspicions when it comes to social justice like this article.
