What principle of journalism do you think is most important. In my opinion, honesty is the most important principle for journalism. Recently, I read a piece of news saying that one out of four people in Congo don't believe there is Ebola virus. According to the news, they believe that someone make up the disease in order to earn money or control people. I think it is because people in Congo get used of fake news. When news lose honesty, they gradually lose trust from the public and become meaningless.

however the situation in Congo might more be due to the poor level of education. The literacy rate (the capability to read) is low.
