Everyone is (quite likely) Pushing an Agenda

Your view will however differ depending on whether you are a journalist or a publicist.
 
People write for different reasons. Everyone has a different motivation.
 
Some want to change the world. Some want to grow their craft or career. I mean, you spent years in school studying for this.
 
Others are making a living. No matter the reason one writes, one will do better to understand the dynamics of the landscape. Media sets an agenda due to what is reported, how it is covered but also what isn’t.
 
On the other side of journalism are sources or people who make the news. In their world too, what is not said is sometimes more important than what is said. In the world of a publicist, stopping a story may sometimes be more important than getting one out.
 
But I was new to this world. I did not understand the dynamics. And I only had one view. It was only later when I joined public relations that I had a full appreciation of media dynamics. Businesses constantly promote their brands and jealously guard their reputation. Some of this effort is through reportage or through advertising. But they will also fight as hard for stories that don’t favor them not to run.
 
Let me explain.
