Journalists Admit They Tend to Lean Left PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 05 April 2008


Two-thirds say the line between reporting and commentary is blurred.

Only 6 percent of journalists describe themselves as conservative, while more than 30 percent say they are liberal. That's according to a survey from the Project for Excellence in Journalism.

"There’s a heavy tilt to those describing themselves as liberal," said Amy Mitchell, deputy director of the group.

But do the political leanings of reporters find their way into stories? Yes, according to the survey. Almost two-thirds of journalists conceded that the line between reporting and commentary is blurred.

Cliff Kincaid, editor of Accuracy in Media, said the number of conservatives in the media seems even lower than 6 percent.

“There are very few," he said. "This is based on not only the surveys but personal experience. The fact is that conservative students tend not to go into journalism.

“Liberal students want to change the system. They see journalism as a tool to accomplish that.”

Words To Live By

"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word has no place in our lives." - The Bible: 1 John 1:8-10
