Journalism Rules

Since the book has political references and themes as well as Journalism being another theme, I thought I would review the governmental system in Sweden and some rules Journalist work with. Sweden maintains a Monarchy, which is democratic multi-party system. There is approximately thirty to forty parties in parliament. Thus, there isn't any real power. The United Stated politics are very different from this. Journalist are supposed to follow certain rules when composing a story. The Generic rules for journalism are to provide facts, maximize benefits of that person, place or thing, act an an independent, and lastly use reliable sources. Another major rule is to not perform writing in which one is biased towards the topic. Journalist believe a successful story is one that follows this quote: "You have to have the facts to back it up".
