Журналистика — это искусство оперативной передачи и обработки информации. Новостной журналист отличается от остальных тем, что должен передавать информацию без искажений. Он — транслятор информации. Это не значит, что он просто повторяет то, что сообщают новостные агентства или очевидцы события. Скорее, он старается осветить одно и то же событие с нескольких точек зрения, давая читателю возможность самому сделать выводы.
