The Three Tenets

At the very beginning of this course, we learned the three tenets of Social Responsibility in the Media. The article I found for this weeks post is about Obama's plan to create jobs for Americans. He has laid out a plan that will create 2.5 million jobs by 2011. In his plan he wants to create jobs by upgrading the federal buildings to give them better heating systems.
The first tenet of Social Responsibility is "inform". This article does a good job of doing what it set out to do, inform the reader about the new plan that has been released by Obama. However, it only tells the reader what is plan is. It does not give any indication of the other options, the other sides of the issue, or any of the facts about how well it will or will not work.
The second tenet of Social Responsibility is "nurture". This article does nurture quit well. Before reading this, I did not know anything about Obama's new plan to create jobs. In the world today, I feel that it is vital to know what is happening in any form of government, especially the federal government. This plan also has an impact on everyone from the government down to any person who has been affected by the poor economy.
The third tenet of Social Responsibility is "be fair". This article is fair to the facts. It does a very good job of being fair. There is no bias within this article. It just gives the facts. The only thing that is not completely fair is that it does not give any quotes besides those from Obama. To be a truly fair article, it should include at least some kind of opinion from someone on the other side of the issue and someone who is an expert on the job market.
