Today an opinion with no fact checks required or Chatgpt lol jk. I don't know if I'm qualified to really answer but I'd guess integrity and commitment to the truth are a few.

[Zack-Bann]

The fearlessness to put yourself in a position that might turn out dangerous.


And obviously the quality of the work itself


It’s a steep learning curve

I wouldn't

[sawno]

Integrity and a will to actually look at what is going on. Most big outlets don't have either of those, they are just propaganda channels. But there are independent journalists who do a great job, and occasionally a journalist from a big outlet will do a hard hitting piece to.

[HawkPerception]

Have no issues socializing and building your network, be able to see the big picture of things at a glance, have excellent communication skills, have a genuinely curious nature, and have great research skills.

[FunkyMonkee]

Intelligence, decorum, wit and a lot of other things Don Lemon and the rest of the left don't have at all.

[Hagar88]

Report the facts rather than a personal politicians agenda and dont harrass people in their place of worship or homes especially if you would call the cops if the sane was done to you.

[exitseven]

the first thing is credibility/ If nobody trusts you to tell the truth you cannot be an effective journalist. Obviously Don Lemon is not a real journalist.

[DryGermanGuy]

Remember, you fell for that 2000 Mules bullshit, which hat no credibility from the start.

[jazzy34]

Depending on the story, do months (or even years) of thorough research. Be as unbiased and objective as possible.

To be a great journalist you have to pass the Walter Cronkite test. Just give the facts, the who what where and when don’t speculate on the why.

[Shiprex]

Aware of public opinion and good with words.

[CaptainSmartass]

Being unethical, immoral, having no standards, being a vulture, and preying on vulnerable people just to get a story.

Simples...

[Staximus]

[queenofcardio]

[AngryCarl2]

Brass neck and a nosey attitude.
