A journalist reports without bias the events happening around. The purpose of journalism can be either to make people aware of events / concepts / cultures or to enlighten them about a new idea or to expose a certain misdoing and empower the people to make the world a safer & better place. Thus the journalist has to study the facts, talk to various groups of people involved in the event and also read between the lines to catch any hidden implications.
