Abstract
Using her internship experience in production of the local Kalamazoo Newschannel 3, a Sinclair station, the author reflects on the history of journalism, the three key issues facing broadcast journalism: resource scarcity; ratings dependence; and the impact of big business on local news, the relationship between democracy and the media, and concludes with personal code of ethics for the modern journalist:
1. Accountability above all.
2. Transparency in everything.
3. Accuracy over expediency (or profit).
4. Information over entertainment.
5. Storytelling not fear-mongering.
