Who do journalists work for?

No, really.  Who do journalists work for?  The obvious answer to that question would be the people!  Of course!  Hurrah, hurrah, preserving liberty through the fair and unbiased reporting of the truth and all that jazz.  But is that just a concept that ought to be true but isn't?  Sure, journalists should serve the people first, but in this day the money is what it's all about.  Personally, as a future journalist (hopefully), I am pretty freaking serious about my duty to the citizens.  They deserve to know the truth.  However, the decline of the newspaper has made a serious dent in income for many respectable publications, so the reality is that journalists are encouraged more and more in their own line of work to be loyal to the corporation of journalism.  I very strongly believe that a journalists first duty is to the people, but I also think that recently there is more pressure on journalists to bring in money.  This means that being a watchdog comes second.  What a sad, sad, truth.  Oh well.  At least I can distract myself by watching Star Wars for six hours straight tonight.
