Today, Ithaca College received a visit from probably one of the most important political pundits in the world. Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, came to the college to speak on the importance of political reporting. More so, Huffington discussed the need for the media to report all sides of events — basically the truth.
"Journalists can give a voice to the voiceless, which is an incredibly powerful opportunity," she said. "We can look in the mirror and discover leadership in ourselves."
One question I have after listening to Huffington speak is:
What is the job, or goal, of independent media?
Is it to cover all stories that are important and newsworthy even if they are on a smaller scale.
Or do they only report on the things the government leaves out?
Maybe it's a little bit of both?
