Journalism also plays a watchdog role that holds those who wield power accountable for their actions. Our industry applies resources to determine what powerful people are doing and make them accountable to the public. Power has the ability to corrupt, and journalism is one of the outside forces that we hope corrects that. An educated and informed public allows for democracy and discourse, essential to an empowered society. Journalism entertains, provokes thought and interaction, solves problems, connects people, celebrates accomplishments, helps people discover places to go and things to do. Journalism enriches our lives. journalism
