As a journalist, one tends to think there's nothing off limits.
Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate. [/i][/i]

Journalists in India who have been agog over leaked phone taps of conversations between a well-placed corporate lobbyist and many of their brethren won’t be surprised to find that trust in reporters isn’t that high right now. Some 375 respondents belonging to the survey category socioeconomic class. When asked whether it was all right for journalists to network with lobbyists and people of “questionable” integrity in their quest for news, 43% of respondents said yes. But 92% of the Delhi respondents, the city at the heart of the Radia tapes story, answered yes, compared to just 20% of the Chennai respondents. Only 3% of the 375 respondents chose journalists; when asked whom they trust from all the category of professionals, whereas teachers, doctors and government officials are the most trusted. The journalists who do the best of jobs and were listed the best in Chennai no one trusted them. 15% of respondents said that they trusted delivery boys did particularly well in Delhi other than teachers, doctors and government officials. The auto or taxi driver was trusted by just 2% of the respondents. The rankings for journalists and vegetable-sellers would have looked better by comparison. Although the importance and role of journalists is proved since times and they will continue playing their role in future; then too the dependency rate and the trust the audience has on them is very imperceptible. The reasons why the trust over scrivener are vivid, although the survey depicts lack of confidence on scrivener; but the fact is that at the end it is the scrivener in whom people believe in and rely for news.
