If my current job, which is working as a crime journalist and being a reporting coordinator for a news site, required me to do exactly the opposite of what I am doing now, it is evident that the work would be very different and, frankly, somewhat frightening.
Instead of seeking the truth and reporting news with integrity and ethics, I would essentially be acting as someone who is sharing disinformation and thereby helping to spread fake news.
My daily life, which is full of careful verification, meticulous fact-checking, and reporting on crime cases, would be invested in carrying out activities that are the absolute inverse of these principles.
Instead of leading teams of reporters in breaking news coverage and investigating crimes, I would be inventing and spreading false news, distorting facts, and disseminating rumors.
This would be a radical and dishonest shift, from the pursuit of truth to the pursuit of lies.
It would be contrary to the foundation of journalistic ethics, undermining public trust and contributing to the perpetuation of disinformation, which I am wholly committed to stopping in my current efforts.
