"The survey highlights the difficult challenges faced by local journalists in the increasingly competitive media environment. About one-third (32%) of local reporters acknowledge they have softened the tone of a news story on behalf of the interests of their news organization; only 15% of those in the national media say they have done so. And 26% of local reporters say they have been told to avoid a story because it was dull or overly complicated, but suspect the real reason for the decision was that the story could harm their company's financial interests.

That also got me thinking about famous people and how little we really know about them. They all have PR agents that cover their tracks and keep the truth from us and then there is people magazine and others that try to uncover the truth or just make things up.

What do you think about how those individuals feel when they are being told that they have to change their hair style to fit with the new trends or they cannot bring their old friend to the Grammy's etc.

Here is a video I found about a PR agency and their testimonials. Wait for the part where the guy says that his trust from journalists and respect in the industry has gone up.
