SponCon
Journalism has the responsibility to convey the truth to their readers and be honest about what they truly believe. Often times with sponsored content the line between truth and lies can get blurred. Sponsored content modifies this responsibility that journalism has. Journalist are paid by companies to write what they want. This may not be something that the journalist believes or agrees with, but has to write about. Consumers should be made aware of this fact so as to not judge the company based on those types of articles. It is just a way that journalism sites can make more money to continue writing articles they are proud of. I think that there are some sponsored content that is ok, while others are not. But these are only ok if they allow the journalist to write whatever they want as long as it is inclusive of the companies product. The important part is that journalists stay true to what they believe in.
