Now is a time where an objective press and professional journalists acting through ethical guidelines is needed most. Because the Internet has opened the ability to communicate and discuss public ideas, citizens need outlets they can rely on that aim to not show bias to one group over the other. Historically the press was (and still is in many places of the world) partisan, and there certainly should be a space for that, but if we are to properly give citizens the tools they need to make informed decisions and ensure that centers of power know that they are being monitored, then an objective press plays an important role in the future of our democracy.
